Types Of Alarms
There are two broad types of alarms, active and passive alarms.
Active Alarms
Active alarms are ongoing. They signify states of operation that are not in
accordance with normal operation. Examples of active alarms include links that
should be active but are not or error rates that are continuously exceeding a certain
threshold.
