When you access the Craft interface, whether through an Ethernet port on
the rear or a Craft port on the front, the information you view and the set-
tings you specify are only for the system on the same side of the chassis as
the port to which you connected. You must connect to the other system to
manage its alarms and events.

When an alarm condition occurs within a system, MIX 56 alerts you in the
following ways:

The critical, major, or minor front panel LED lights.

The critical, major, or minor alarm contact on the rear panel activates,
sending the alarm to a separate alarm system.

An SNMP trap is sent if the network IP address, Subnet Mask, and a
Trap Address are set from the System Interfaces screen.

An entry detailing the alarm condition is made in the Alarm Log and
the Current Alarms screen.

When the alarm clears, the LED goes out, the alarm contact deactivates, a
second SNMP trap is sent, the alarm is removed from the Current Alarms
screen, and a second entry is made in the Alarm Log detailing the time the
alarm cleared.

MIX 56 defines alarm levels as follows:

Critical: service-affecting conditions that cause the loss of two or more
low speed line or the loss of the high-speed line.
