Port Alarms
To create alarm profiles for individual ports, from the Configure menu, choose
Alarm Settings and click the Port tab.
For each port, choose an Alarm Profile and set the FCS threshold. The frame
check sequence (FCS) error hysteresis threshold is expressed as a percentage of
fluctuation from the FCS bit error rate. The default setting is 8 percent. You can
adjust the percentage to prevent toggling the alarm condition when the FCS bit
error rate fluctuates near the configured bit error rate. Valid percentages for port
settings are 6…11.
Configure Alarm Profiles You can use alarm profiles to apply a group of alarm settings to multiple
interfaces. These alarm profiles are created for you:
• defaultPort
• ab-alarm (created during Express Setup)
To create, modify, or delete alarm profiles, from the Configure menu, choose
Alarm Profiles.
