19.1 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.
19.1.1 Alarm Types
There are three types of alarms.
TYPE
All This displays all types of alarms.
Device This is an alarm such as hardware failure or the network connection is down.
CNM This is an alarm such as server communication error or illegal Vantage login
attempt.
19.1.2 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.
19.1.3 Alarm States
When an alarm is received by Vantage, it can be in one of three states:
STATE
Active
Acknowledged
Monitor > Alarms

Table 19-1 Types of Alarms

Table 19-2 Alarm Severity

Table 19-3 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.
