Control of Alarmed Conditions Monitoring
Operating Alarms
MetaASSIST View allows you to disable alarm display for maintenance purposes. This
condition is indicated by the Maintenance wrench tool icon next to the relevant element in
the Navigation tree and in entities that report alarms. When Modem ports or Ethernet ports
are placed in Maintenance mode, service is interrupted on the port. A warning message
appears prior to performing this action.
After completing maintenance, make sure you enable the alarms.
NOTE: Users with write and admin privilege rights can disable alarms from panes using the
Configure Alarms button. Disabled entities cannot be placed in maintenance mode.

1. In the Network Element tree, open the required entity. The entity detailed pane opens in
the work area.
2. From the work area (in Alarms and Conditions section), click Configure Alarms. The
Configure Alarms dialog appears.
3. Select the Maintenance - All Alarms Disabled check box.
4. Click OK. The Maintenance
icon appears.
