Alarm Screens

Refer to Figure 5-16. To view the current system alarms, you can go from the System Main
Screen to an Alarm Screen. From the Alarm Screen, you can then go to an Alarm Filters
Screen and set up the alarm reporting filters. Or, you can access an Alarm History Screen (log)
and view alarms that were previously logged by the system. These screens and operations are
discussed in the "Alarms and Alarm Filters" section later in this chapter.
The first character set (00028 in the above display) is the Alarm Sequence Number. This is a
sequential number from 1 to 65,535. It identifies the alarm for tracking and maintenance. In
the above example, the Alarm Sequence Number is 28.
The second character set (w2-1) is the location of the problem by chassis slot number and port
number. In this case, it is an WAN card in chassis slot W2 is affected, and port 1 of that card
has reported the alarm.
The third character set (OWAN) is the type of card affected (in this case, an OWAN card
facility has raised an alarm).
The fourth character set is the alarm modifier (in this case, M indicates a major alarm). See
the "Alarms and Alarm Filters" section later in this chapter for more information about alarm
modifiers.
