The traps Poll number not found in database , and Unrecognised by
Device Driver are the SNMP equivalents.
3.4 Alarm windows
Information stored in the Alarm Database can be viewed through the
various Alarm windows, each of which shows a different part of the
database. Each alarm is shown as an entry in the window, earliest first.
From left to right, the fields are:
the Alarm Indicator icon*
the date and time of arrival
the Poll number and channel number of the device
the user name given to the device
the nature of the alert received
* If the alarm is unacknowledged, its Alarm Indicator icon flashes pink,
otherwise it is grey. The Archived Alarm Log windows do not display this
icon, since all Archived alarms have to be acknowledged (see
Section 3.5).
Clicking the right mouse button over any Alarm window invokes the
Alarm Speed menu, which is identical to the standard Alarms menu.
3.4.1 Network Alarm Log window
The Network Alarm Log window presents alarm information for the entire
network. In its default state it shows the complete contents of the current
Alarm Database, but it can be filtered to hide unwanted information.
To create the window, select the Network Alarm Log command from
the Window menu or the toolbar.
3.4.2 Device Alarm Log windows
These windows display alarms that originated from one particular device,
and are otherwise exactly the same as the Network Alarm log window.
One possible use for these is to examine a data path between two
devices at either end of a link. You can create the Device Alarm Log
windows, one for each device, and examine the alerts they have
generated.
