Screen
Function
Event Browser
View active and cleared alarms in date/time
order. Goes back in time for a maximum
5000 events (first on, first off).
The views provided are particularly helpful in
situations where it is unclear what caused an
alarm; what was the event that first lead to
an alarm being raised. The chronological
ordering and event filtering options allow
easy review of repeated events of the same
type, such as may occur during path fade
situations, or other intermittent fault events.
Each event also captures its event source by
type.
A Help for Event tab supports
context-sensitive alarm help for a selected
(highlighted) alarm event. Provides a
description of the alarm, probable cause,
recommended actions, and where applicable
additional information. Online Help must first
be loaded on your Portal PC.
History
Adds extra dimension to Events Browser and
Alarms screens, by presenting a histogram of
performance and events.
A 15 minute resolution option provides
viewing of seven days worth of 15 minute
data bins; a 24 hour option provides one
months worth of 1 data bins.
Within the total history period, a user can
also select a report range to capture more
detailed data.
The history screens are particularly useful
where there is a need to analyze link
operation over time when investigating
recurrent events.
Two History screens are provided, Link and
Ethernet:
Link:
The link history screen captures G.806 link
performance data, together with RSL, events
detected, and configuration changes.
Ethernet:
The Ethernet history screen captures Rx and
Tx statistics for each port and channel,
events detected and configuration changes.
