Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms
Introduction
The access server has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test
major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify if equipment fails (for example, a power supply
failure) or if a T1/E1/PRI port malfunctions. There are 11 access server items that can be configured by the
user to generate alerts based on the condition of the access server. The access server has three methods to notify
of an alarm condition:
• Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of
an alarm. The states are:
- Off—No alarm present
- Solid—Minor alarm
- Flashing—Major alarm.
• Administration web page indication—The alarms window of the administration page uses highlighting to
indicate which items are in alarm state and how critical the alarm is according to the alarm severity set (see
figure 9):
- Red—Indicates that the alarm has been designated as a critical alarm by the system administrator
- Gold—Indicates that the alarm has been designated as a major alarm by the system administrator
- Yellow—Iindicates that the alarm has been designated as a minor alarm by the system administrator
- Blue—Indicates that the alarm has informational value only as designated by the system administrator
- None—There is no alarm present or the system administrator has chosen for the alarm to be ignored
