Alarm Severity Assignment Profile
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
An Alarm Severity Assignment Profile (ASAP) is a list of alarms which can occur in a
network element and which each have an alarm severity assigned.
ASAPs can be assigned to 1643 AM functional system components (a circuit pack or a
specific port for example) during provisioning.
Each ASAP can be uniquely identified by its type and its name.
Concept
ASAP allows the user to control alarm reporting with more flexibility, and to create
multiple alarm profiles for each alarm category and to assign these profiles to entities
within the system.
The alarms contained in each category are predefined. The categories containing the
alarms are referred to as predefined profile types. Each profile type has a default
profile and a set of user-created profiles. The user-created profiles and the default
profiles within the profile types are referred to as ASAPs. The assigned alarm severity
levels refer to each alarm within each ASAP.
Note that predefined or default alarms or profile types cannot be changed or deleted by
the user. Only the profiles created by the user can be changed or deleted.
Alarm severities
The alarm severity levels are used in the following description of the ASAP types:
1. Prompt (Urgent alarm that requires immediate (prompt) maintenance action)
2. Deferred (Non-urgent alarm that requires deferred maintenance action)
3. Info (Informational alarm).
Reporting state
Each alarm can be assigned to one of the following reporting states:
Reporting state
Reported
Not Reported
Please note that changing the alarm reporting state does not affect the display of
currently present and history alarms. Especially the display of already present alarms
cannot be removed if their reporting state is changed from "Reported" to "Not
Reported".
