Managing Faults
By performing various tasks, such as acknowledging, unacknowledging,
and deleting faults; you can manage all of the various alarms in 3WXM.
For some faults, 3WXM provides a predetermined task list that guides
you through performing appropriate tasks and resolutions. Furthermore,
when the same operation can manage more than one fault, you can
select those multiple faults, and then perform the same appropriate fault
management operation simultaneously.
If you have cleared or acknowledged a fault and a new event occurs that
correlates to the original cleared or acknowledged fault, the fault is reactivated.
If the 3WXM server is down for a period of time (an hour or more), all
faults in the system will automatically clear once the server restarts.
Clearing the faults after down time ensures that all faults in the system
are valid.
By default, 3WXM displays the Show Summary option, depicted in the
following screen.
