DLP-G129 Suppress Alarm Reporting
Note Alarm suppression at the node level does not supersede alarm suppression at the card or port level.
Suppression can exist independently for all three entities, and each entity will raise separate alarms
suppressed by the user command (AS-CMD) alarm.
Step 1 If you are in node view, click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
Step 2 To suppress alarms for the entire node:
a. Check the Suppress Alarms check box.
b. Click Apply.
All raised alarms for the node will change color to white in the Alarms window and their status will
change to cleared. After suppressing alarms, clicking Synchronize in the Alarms window will remove
cleared alarms from the window. However, an AS-CMD alarm will show in node or card view to indicate
that node-level alarms were suppressed, and the word System will appear in the Object column.
Note The only way to suppress building integrated timing supply (BITS), power source, or system
alarms is to suppress alarms for the entire node. These cannot be suppressed separately.
Step 3 To suppress alarms for individual cards:
a. In the alarm behavior window, locate the card row (using the Location column for the slot number
or the Eqpt Type column for the equipment name).
b. Check the Suppress Alarms column check box in that row.
Alarms that directly apply to this card will change appearance as described in Step 2. For example, if
you suppressed raised alarms for an OC-48 card in Slot 16, raised alarms for this card will change in
node or card view. The AS-CMD alarm will show the slot number in the Object number. For example,
if you suppressed alarms for a Slot 16 OC-48 card, the AS-CMD object will be “SLOT-16.”
Click Apply.
Step 4 To suppress alarms for individual card ports, double-click the card in node view.
Step 5 Click the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles > Alarm Behavior tabs.
Step 6 Check the Suppress Alarms column check box for the port row where you want to suppress alarms
(Figure 8-6 on page 8-22).
Step 7 Click Apply.
Alarms that apply directly to this port will change appearance as described in Step 2. (However, alarms
raised on the entire card will remain raised.) A raised AS-CMD alarm that shows the port as its object
will appear in either alarm window. For example, if you suppressed alarms for Port 1 on the Slot 16
OC-48 card, the alarm object will show “FAC-16-1.”
Step 8 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).
