Section 4.6.2

Clearing and Acknowledging Alarms

There are two types of alarms: conditional and non-conditional. Conditional alarms are generated when the
condition is true and cleared when the condition is resolved and the incident is acknowledged by the user.
Non-conditional alarms, however, are simply generated when the event occurs (a notification) and it is the
responsibility of the user to clear the alarm.
An example of a conditional alarm is a link down alarm. When the condition is resolved (i.e. the link comes up),
the LED and alarm relay are both disabled, if the Auto Clear option is enabled.
Examples of non-conditional alarms are link up and internal configuration errors.
The following sections describe how to acknowledge and clear alarms:
• Section 4.6.2.1, "Clearing Alarms"
• Section 4.6.2.2, "Acknowledging Alarms"
