Alerts
The system can generate two types of alerts:
◆ Link incident alerts, which are generated because of a problem.
◆ Threshold alerts, which are generated when throughput reaches a
predetermined level.
Link Incident Alerts
A link incident (LIN) is a problem detected on a fiber-optic link; for
example, loss of light, or invalid sequences. When a LIN occurs, a
LIN alert is sent to the Link Incident Log in the Product Manager. LIN
alerts warn you that there is a link incident detected through a port
connection that may require operator intervention to correct.
If LIN alerts are enabled for a port, an alert causes a yellow triangle to
appear next to the port connector in the Hardware view, and in the
Alert column in the Port List view.
Double-clicking on the port in the Hardware view or Port List view
displays the Port Properties window. If LIN alerts are enabled for the
port, the window contains a short description of the latest incident in
the Link Incident field. (If there are no active incidents,
None
appears.)
To receive e-mail notification of LIN alerts, do all of these:
◆ Enable LIN alerts in the Configure Ports dialog box.
◆ Configure e-mail notification through the Connectrix Manager.
◆ Enable e-mail notification through the Product Manager
Maintenance menu.
E-mail notification of LIN alerts is available to all users; no user rights are
imposed.
Refer to Link Incident Log on page 6-9 for more information on the
type of link errors that are logged.
