Generalities
Alarm supervision is a feature that allows maintenance personnel to monitor currently
raised alarms on a local network element, or on several other network elements
belonging to the same subnetwork. In order to view the remote network element
current alarms list, it is required to have subscribed it to the supervision list.
Subscribing a network element to a supervision list means that the local network
element (to which the ITM CIT is connected) is granted access permission to a remote
network element, with a specific NSAP address. The access rights is one of "view
only". The list of all subscribed network elements is kept in a register on the network
element. This list is called the Supervision Log file. It's path and name can be
configured on the ITM CIT. This list modified, reset to default, saved and loaded at a
later time from another network element. The details from this list can be viewed on
the Supervision List window, on the ITM CIT.
