A maintenance alarm indicates that the device or some part of the device
needs maintenance soon. If the condition is ignored, the device will eventually
fail. There are five parameters associated with MAINT_ALARMS, they are
described below.
MAINT_ENABLE
The MAINT_ENABLE parameter contains a list of conditions indicating
that the device or some part of the device needs maintenance soon. Below
is a list of the conditions in order of priority from 1 to 2, where 2 is the
highest priority. This priority is not the same as the MAINT_PRI parameter
described below. It is hard coded within the device and is not user
configurable.
