DLP-G119 Synchronize Alarms
Step 1 At card, node, or network view, click the Alarms tab.
Step 2 Click Synchronize.
This button causes CTC to retrieve a current alarm summary for the card, node, or network. This step is 
optional because CTC updates the Alarms window automatically as raise/clear messages arrive from the 
node. 
Note Alarms that have been raised during the session will have a check mark in the Alarms window 
New column. When you click Synchronize, the check mark disappears.
Step 3 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
Purpose This task changes the time stamp for events to the time zone of the ONS
