This section describes how to view SNMP alarms raised by the device. 
 
57.1  Viewing Active Alarms 
You can view current (active) alarms in the Web interface that have been raised by the 
device. If an alarm is cleared, it is moved into the History  Alarms table (see 'Viewing 
History Alarms' on page 930).  
 
 
Note: 
•  The alarms in the table are deleted upon a device reset. 
•  To configure the maximum number of active alarms that can be displayed in the 
table, see the ini file parameter, ActiveAlarmTableMaxSize. 
•  For more information on SNMP alarms, refer to the SNMP Reference Guide 
document. 
 
  To view active alarms: 
  Open the Active Alarms table, by doing one of the following: 
•  Navigation tree: Monitor menu > Monitor tab > Summary folder > Active 
Alarms.  
•  Monitor home page: Click the "Alarms" area on the graphical display of the device 
(see 'Viewing Device Status on Monitor Page' on page 918).
