Introduction
The Alarm Card window (see figure 150 and figure 151) is where you can configure the alarm card polling
mode to determine whether the T-DAC monitors alarm card status. Click on Alarm Card under the configura-
tion menu to display the Alarm Card Information window.

The Alarm Card Polling Mode has the following options:
Note
When you are finished modifying the alarm card polling mode, click
the Submit button to apply the changes.
doNotMonitor(0)—The T-DAC will not monitor the alarm card status
monitorAlarmCard(1)—The T-DAC will monitor the alarm card status. If there is a critical alarm for the
chassis, the chassis state will be highlighted in red. Click the Clear button to return the chassis state to nor-
mal.
Figure 151. Critical Chassis Alarm
Note
If the chassis contains more than one (2616RC/3096RC/3196RC) or
any combination thereof, then only one card should be enabled to
monitor the alarm card.
Note
Due to hardware limitations, some older cards do not support alarm
card monitoring. If you are using an older card, the Alarm Card Status
web page will alert you that you are using an older card and prevent
you from monitoring the alarm card. As a workaround, check if any
of the other cards in your chassis support monitoring the alarm card
and use one of those cards instead of the older card.
