10.11.2 Alarm Configuration
The alarm configuration provides the flexibility to define per Alarm, whether or not the alarm is
linked to a General Interface and/or General Device alarm.
This way the customer is able to define whether or not this specific alarm triggers a redundancy
switch over as the redundancy system bases a switch over on one of these two alarms.
Be careful when changing the alarm configuration, as the general interface and general device
alarms, are there to protect your device in critical situations.
For example, the "Temperature alarm", by default generates a general device alarm. The
general device alarm switches off the main functional blocks of the M6100, to reduce the CPU
load of the device.
In case the default setting is overruled and the general device alarm is not triggered, the device
can become overheated.
The alarms are still recognized by the M6100 meaning that the alarm is displayed in the alarm pane
and that the related functional block/arrow in the GUI changes color (turn red). On the front panel
the active alarm LED lights up according to the alarm that is present.
For example:
TS 1_3Pat Error Alarm must generate a General Interface alarm. (because this could be a reason
that a switch to a redundant device is necessary).
When a PAT error is present, the general interface alarm is also triggered and displayed in the
alarms pane.
The following figure shows the alarms pane.
