Description
Note
When an entity is put in the OOS,MT administrative state, the ONS 15454 suppresses all standing alarms
on that entity. All alarms and events appear on the Conditions tab. You can change this behavior for the
LPBKFACILITY and LPBKTERMINAL alarms. To display these alarms on the Alarms tab, set the
NODE.general.ReportLoopbackConditionsOnPortsInOOS-MT to TRUE on the NE Defaults tab.

severities are only listed in the network view Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tab.

Major and Minor alarms might appear yellow in CTC under certain circumstances. This is not due to a
Note
CTC problem but to a workstation memory and color utilization problem. For example, a workstation
might run out of colors if many color-intensive applications are running. When using Netscape, you can
limit the number of colors used by launching it from the command line with either the -install option or
the -ncols 32 option.
