36 Modify Alarms—Configuring alarm severity levels
MinorSelfClearing(3)—Generate a minor alarm that automatically clears after a fixed period of time. If the
alarm condition has not ceased, the alarm will be automatically cleared, but another alarm will be immedi-
ately generated. If the alarm condition has ceased, the alarm will be automatically cleared after the same
fixed period of time.
MajorSelfClearing(4)—Same as MinorSelfClearing(3) except that it is a Major alarm instead of Minor.
Note For maximum application flexibility, the administrator shall choose
which constitute major or minor alarm. Some examples of typical
major and minor alarms include:
- Box: Over Temperature—Major Alarm
- WAN 1: Red Alarm—MajorSelfClearing
- WAN 1: Yellow Alarm—MinorSelfClearing
To set an alarm, click on the drop-down menu for the desired alarm item, choose the new setting followed by
clicking on Submit Query.
