Chapter 7: System Alarms
Overview
There are two ways to view alarms for the
Tenor DX
unit: through the
Command Line Interface (CLI)
or
through
Tenor Monitor.
The information for accessing alarms via CLI is detailed in this chapter: see the
Tenor Configuration Man-
ager/Tenor Monitor User’s Guide
for information about viewing alarms via
Tenor Monitor.
Monitor Alarms
Alarms are brief text messages that appear on your workstation when the
Tenor DX
unit encounters a prob-
lem, such as a failed interface, disconnected call, etc. You can reach the
Alarm Manager
through the
Com-
mand Line Interface (CLI)
alarm monitoring system.
How to Read Alarms
The
Alarm Manager
reports alarms according to criteria such as the alarm’s severity level, line number the
alarm occurred on, channel number, etc. There are two alarm types displayed: Active Alarms and Alarm His-
tory. An Active Alarm list displays all the alarms still active on the system; these alarms have not been cleared
or deleted. An Alarm History is a list of the last 100 alarms stored in the system since the last time you per-
formed a delete operation.
Definitions for generated alarm fields appear in Table 7-1.
