Manage Faults

By performing various tasks, such as acknowledging, unacknowledging, and deleting faults; you can manage all of the
various alarms in WMS. For some faults, WMS provides a list of related tasks that guides you through appropriate tasks
and resolutions. Furthermore, when the same operation can manage more than one fault, you can select those multiple
faults, and then perform the same appropriate fault management operation simultaneously.
If you have cleared or acknowledged a fault and a new event occurs that correlates to the original cleared or acknowl-
edged fault, reactivate the original fault.
If the WMS server is down for a period of time (an hour or more), all faults in the system will automatically clear once
the server restarts. Clearing the faults after down time ensures that all faults in the system are valid.
The Alarms function displays information retrieved from the WLAN Management Software service. WMS presents the
data under the WMS tool bar option in the following views:
