12.4 - Acknowledge Active Alarms
Selecting the Menu Letter of this option acknowledges any and all alarms currently in the queue for alarm
notification. These are alarms for which the associated alarm actions are in the Action Queue for handling, whether
in progress or not. This also applies to acknowledgment of ‘Repeat’ alarms (which are marked to repeat until
explicitly acknowledged) which are also acknowledged using this selection. Acknowledging Alarms will remove all
actions them from the Action Queue. Any alarm action which is in progress at the time such as a pager callout will
complete and then clear. Before the Alarms are acknowledged you will be presented with a Sure prompt.
Sure? (Y/N) Y
