Alarm Filter Settings

ways. Figure 4-13 shows the Alarm Filters screen, which is accessed by pressing "
f

Filters
command) on the Alarm Screen.
Figure 4-13. Alarm Filters Screen
The first column of the Alarm Filters Screen is the alarm abbreviation that appears when an
alarm is generated. The second column is the associated full name of each alarm. Table 4-3
describes each alarm appearing in the Alarm Filters Screen.
The third column contains the filters
ignore
,
log
,
and
report
. Set the filter to
ignore
if you
want the system to ignore the alarm. Or, set it to
log
if you want the system to show the alarm
report on the screen and also log it into the Alarm History, as described later in this chapter.
Set the filter to
report
if you want the system to send (report) the alarm indication to a remote
device. With this setting, the system will also display the alarm report on the screen and log it
into the Alarm History.
The fourth column of the Alarm Filters Screen contains the filter modifiers
info
,
minor
,
major
, and
crit
. This column specifies a level of importance (information only, minor alarm,
major alarm, or critical alarm) for each alarm. These settings are described later in this chapter.
