    Alarm Configuration When configuring a Kilobits alarm, NetSight Element Manager converts octets into kilobits (units of 125 bytes, or octets) for you; for example, to set a falling threshold of 625 octets, enter a threshold value of 5. 9. In the Falling Action field, click to select the action you want your device to take in response to a falling alarm: Enable Port, Disable Port, or None.
