23.5.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
If one or more alarm profiles have been stored as files from elsewhere in the network onto the local PC
or server hard drive where CTC resides, you can utilize as many profiles as you can physically store by
deleting and replacing them locally in CTC so that only eight are active at any given time.
See the “NTP-G68 Create, Download, and Assign Alarm Severity Profiles” procedure on page 8-16.
23.5.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles
Alarm profiles are created in the network view using the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs. Figure 23-2
shows the default list of alarm severities. A default alarm severity following Telcordia GR-253-CORE
standards is preprovisioned for every alarm. After loading the default profile or another profile on the
node, you can clone a profile to create custom profiles. After the new profile is created, the Alarm
Profiles window shows the original profile (frequently Default) and the new profile.
Figure 23-2 Network View Alarm Profiles Window
Note The alarm profile list contains a master list of alarms that is used for a mixed node network. Some of
these alarms might not be used in all ONS nodes.
Note The Default alarm profile list contains alarm and condition severities that correspond when applicable
to default values established in Telcordia GR-253-CORE.
Note All default or user-defined severity settings that are Critical (CR) or Major (MJ) are demoted to Minor
(MN) in non-service-affecting situations as defined in Telcordia GR-474.
