n Logging of alarms, notification events.
The Alarm LED at the top left corner of the web interface and on the front panel indicates the
highest severity alarm on the ADMIN - Alarms page:
n Red: Alarm with severity = Major.
n Orange: Alarm with severity = Minor.
n Green: Alarm with severity = Notification, or no alarms.
Alarm Configuration and Notification
Name: Describes the system event that causes the alarm. Also see Alarm Descriptions (on
page 59), and Alarms and Notification (on page 116).
State: A graphic LED indicating the alarm state and severity at the time the page was gen-
erated:
n Grey LED: Severity is set to Notify.
n Green LED: Severity is Major or Minor, and there is no alarm.
n Orange LED: Severity is set to Minor, and there is an alarm.
n Red LED: Severity is set to Major, and the alarm there is an alarm.
Note: To check the current state, click the refresh icon (rotating arrows) at the lower right
corner of the page.
Clear Now: This checkbox is only available during an alarm. To clear the alarm, select the
Clear Now checkbox and click the APPLY button. Doing so returns the alarm to a "No
Alarm" state.
Auto Clear: Automatically clears the alarm after 15 minutes, regardless of the condition that
caused it.
Severity: Determines the Alarm LED response to an alarm and sets the "Level:" in the SNMP
trap, email message, and log entry.
n Notify: Does not raise an alarm (No change to Alarm LED color).
n Minor: Raises a minor system alarm (Alarm LED = Orange).
n Major: Raises a major system alarm (Alarm LED = Red).
Note: If enabled, Send Trap, Write Log, and Send Email operate in response to alarms,
regardless of Severity.
Send Trap: Sends an SNMP trap when the alarm occurs and ends. SNMP must be con-
figured correctly on the NETWORK - SNMP and NETWORK – SNMP Traps pages for this to work.
Write Log: Generates a log entry in syslog when the alarm occurs and ends. The log can be
viewed from the LOGS - syslog page.
Send Email: Generates a descriptive entry in an email message when the alarm occurs and
ends. The SyncServer compiles the entries over a 5-minute period and sends email mes-
sages at five-minute intervals, so an email alert may contain more than 1 alarm. For Send
Email to work, the SERVICES - Email page must be configured with a valid SMTP Gateway
