6 6Alarm management
Overview
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Purpose
The purpose of alarm management is to monitor the equipment and transmission for
events that are raised under the Management System (MS) Supervision and to display
the information on the interface of the MS, called the Integrated Transport Manager —
Craft Interface Terminal (ITM-CIT).
Objective
The objectives of this chapter are:
• To identify the daily alarm management tasks that can be performed on the
ITM-CIT;
• To discuss the alarm management concepts as they apply to the ITM-CIT;
• To identify current and history alarms, and to gather information regarding the
location, severity, description, probable cause (s), correlated alarms;
• To locate recommended trouble-clearing actions for current alarms;
• To describe how to apply display filters and sort criteria on the different ITM-CIT
alarm lists windows;
Outcome
The expected outcome of alarms management is an interface which alerts maintenance
personnel of incoming alarms and their corresponding severity level, as well as
relevant detailed information and recommended trouble-clearing procedures.
Intended use
This chapter is intended to maintenance personnel who are responsible to monitor the
alarms on a network, using the ITM CIT. It is assumed that some knowledge is
available on how to operate the ITM-CIT. For more information, refer to Chapter 2,
“Getting Started”.
