15 Configuration > Device Alarms

15.1 Device Alarms

Select a domain in the object tree to view alarms for that domain.
Alarms are time-critical information that the ZyXEL device automatically sends out at the time of occurrence.
15.1.1 Alarm Classifications
There are four alarm severity classifications.
SEVERITY
All This displays all alarm severities.
Fatal This is an alarm such as unrecoverable hardware failure.
Major This is an alarm such as an attack.
Minor This is an alarm such as a recoverable hardware error.
Warning This is an alarm such as an illegal Vantage login attempt.
15.1.2 Alarm States
When an alarm is received by Vantage, it can be in one of three states:
STATE
Active
Acknowledged
Cleared
15.1.3 Current Alarms Screen
This screen includes filters for time, alarm type, alarm severity type and the administrator who responded to the
alarm.
You may also configure to have administrators automatically e-mailed when an alarm occurs in the System >
Preferences >Notifications screen (see 18.3.4). Alarm becomes historical after selecting Clear.
Configuration > Device Alarms

Table 15-1 Alarm Severity

Table 15-2 Alarm States

This is the initial state of an alarm, which means this alarm is new and no
one has assumed responsibility for handling it yet.
This means that one administrator has decided to respond to the cause of
this alarm. Other administrators see that person's name in their alarm
screen and so duplicate effort in solving the same problem is avoided.
After the administrator has solved the cause of the alarm, he/she can clear
the alarm. When an alarm is cleared, it is removed from the current alarm
screen and becomes an historical alarm.
Use these screens to view and manage device alarms.
