The PathBuilder S700 detects certain events and reports corresponding alarms to
the NMS station(s). These events are categorized as major alarms, minor alarms,
and information. When an alarm occurs, an alarm indicator is displayed in the
upper right corner of the current menu or display, as described under "Alarm
Indicator" in Chapter 3.
The PathBuilder S700 also utilizes an alarm task to relay the alarm from other tasks
to the MCPU. This task is designed particularly for off-loading the data transport
task. When the data transport task detects an error which has to be reported, it
sends a message to the Alarm task. In this way, the data transport task can
continue the system-critical task of processing traffic.
To view a list of current alarms, follow these steps:
1 From the Main menu, select [3] Fault Management to display the Fault
Management menu shown in Figure 163.
