6.2 Customizing Alarms
You can assign severity levels to each alarm, customize alarm levels and notifications, and see
troubleshooting tips on how to resolve alarm conditions.
1. On the Management menu, click Alarm Control.
2. To customize Alarms for each device, click on the Alarm Control tab.
3. Click on the device – BIU, DOU, OEU, etc. – to see a list of alarms associated with that
device. You can customize the Alarms according to these guidelines:
Level To assign the same severity level (Event, Warning, Minor, Major, Critical) to all
alarms, select the level using the Level drop-down list. To assign a unique
severity level to each alarm, leave the triple dash (---) in the Level drop-down
list, then assign a severity level to each alarm.
Mask For a masked alarm, the DMS-1200 will not generate an SNMP trap, but it will
continue to report the status of this device in its Alarm lists and Event log.
Hysteresis Time interval before Alarm is reported or the status of a device changes. From
the first drop down list, choose a time interval. From the second list, choose
seconds or minutes. To assign the same interval to all alarms, enter this interval
using the drop-down list at the top of the column. Maximum Hysteresis=30 mins.
The default description is the Alarm name. You can edit this text as desired.
Remedy Click on the Remedy icon to see suggested fixes for the alarm condition. You
can edit this text as desired.
