alarms are sent as SNMP traps if you have specified one or more trap destinations

and Warning alarms are displayed in the Alarms table
• whether to display selected alarms on the alarm set; by default, only core telephony Critical

You can also test a selected alarm. This allows you to test whether the LED or SNMP traps are
functioning as expected. Testing an alarm generates an alarm in the system. Alarms generated
using the Test Alarm feature are identified in the Alarms table by the words “Test Event” in the
alarm Problem Description field.
