Monitor Alarms

Alarms are brief text messages that appear on your workstation when the Call Relay SP unit encounters a
problem, such as a failed interface, disconnected call, etc. You can reach the Alarm Manager via Command
Line Interface (CLI)
alarm monitoring system.

How to Read Alarms

The Alarm Manager reports alarms according to criteria such as the alarm’s severity level, type, description,
etc. There are two alarm types displayed: Active Alarms and Alarm History. An Active Alarm list displays all
the alarms still active on the system; these alarms have not been cleared or deleted. An Alarm History is a list
of the last 100 alarms stored in the system since the last time you performed a delete operation.

Definitions for all generated alarm fields appear in Table 5-1.
