ALARM HISTORY DISPLAY
Summary: This procedure provides instructions for displaying both active and cleared alarms
stored in the alarm history. Each alarm declaration or alarm clearing creates a separate message
in the history buffer. (However, Event level alarms do not show a clearing message.)
Note: Press CONTROL-A for help information about moving around and editing fields.
1. Use the arrow keys to select Display Alarm History from the Alarms menu. Press Enter or
Return. An Alarm History screen is shown in Figure 544-1 .
2. At the selection prompt Press Enter or Return. Both the active and cleared alarms appear as
shown in Figure 544-1 .
3. Up to a maximum of 112 messages can be displayed from this history buffer. The messages
are displayed in reverse chronological order, starting with the most recent. If the list is too
long to fit on one screen, use the up/down keys to scroll through the entries one line at a
time. Use the right arrow key to move down one screen at a time. Use the left arrow key to
move up one screen at a time. Press CONTROL-R to refresh screen and poll the system for
the 112 most current alarm occurrences.
The first (Date) and second (Time) columns on the screen display the date and time
respectively of the alarms stored in the history file.
The third column (Access ID) identifies an entity in the Soneplex Broadband system to which
the alarm condition pertains. Different alarm conditions result in different types of AIDs.
Reference: TAD-106 Access Identifier
The fourth column (Locn) displays NEND, FEND, REPC, or REPR indicating the location
of the alarm.
Figure 544-2 (T1 HLXC/HRX/HLXR NEND and FEND locations), Figure
544-3 (HDSL HLXC/HRX/HLXR NEND and FEND Locations), Figure 544-4 (DLX
NEND locations), Figure 544-5 , (ODS2 NEND locations), and Figure 544-6 (RLX NEND
and FEND Locations) show FEND, NEND, REPC, and REPR locations and descriptions
for HLXC/HRX/HLXR, DLX, ODS2, and RLX systems.
The sixth column (Circuit Identifier) displays the circuit or facility name assigned in the
configuration menu.
The seventh column (Condition) displays the alarm condition present on the circuit.
Reference: TAP-101 Alarm Troubleshooting
The eighth column (St or Status) displays CR (critical alarm), MJ (major alarm), MN
(minor alarm), EV (event), or CL (alarm has cleared).
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
