Setting General Alarms
To set up general alarms
Access the page System ▶Alarm ▶General.
Complete the required fields, then click Apply.
For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.
Alarm Settings (System ▶Alarm ▶General)
Notification
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Enable LED Reporting | Enables the reporting of alarms by activating the appropriate LED on the unit that corresponds to the severity, e.g. minor, major or critical. This option also enables alarm reporting in the GUI banner. The physical LEDs (unit's front panel) and the pseudo-LEDs (banner) are linked. |
Enable Syslog Reporting | Enables the reporting of alarms by creating entries in the syslog. |

Enable 802.3ah Reporting | Enables reporting of alarms via 802.3ah OAMPDUs using organization-specific events. |
Thresholds
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Threshold On (Soaking time in msecs) | The delay after an event is detected before the alarm notification occurs. |
Threshold Off (Soaking time in msecs) | The delay after an event clears before the alarm notification clears. |
Customizing Alarms
To customize an alarm
Access the page System ▶Alarm ▶Configuration.
The settings for all alarms are displayed.Click the Number of the alarm that you want to edit.
