3. Select an event type from the Alarm Threshold pull-down menu. Choose
from the following options:
CRC error monitoring
Decode error monitoring
ISL monitoring
Login monitoring
Logout monitoring
Loss of signal monitoring
4. Enter a value for the falling threshold. The falling threshold is the event
count above which an event becomes eligible for logging in the alarm log.
5. Enter a value for the rising threshold. The rising threshold is the event count
above which an event is logged. Once the count exceeds the rising
threshold, one alarm is logged. The switch will not generate another alarm
for that event until the count falls below the falling threshold and rises again
above the rising threshold.
6. Enter a sample interval in milliseconds. The sample interval defines the
period of time in which to count events.
7. Check the Enable box to make the alarm eligible for use. Repeat steps 3
through 7 for each alarm you want to configure or enable.
8. Check the Enable All Alarm Thresholds box to activate all alarms enabled
in step 7.
9. Choose the OK button to save all changes.
