4.1. Using the Alarm System
Alarms are the occurrence of events of interest that are logged by the device. If alarms have
occurred, the device will indicate the number of alarms in the top right corner of all menu
screens.
There are two broad types of alarms - active and passive alarms.
4.1.1. Active Alarms
Active alarms are ongoing. They signify states of operation that are not in accordance with
normal operation. Examples of active alarms include links that should be up but are not or
error rates that are continuously exceeding a certain threshold.
Active alarms are removed (cleared) either by solving the original cause of the alarm or by
explicitly clearing the alarm itself.
