Net Port Alarm
Threshold
Configuration
Menu
The Performance/Status Menu reflects the industry T1 standard
thresholds. Use the Net Port Alarm Threshold Configuration
Menu to set your own customized alarm thresholds and intervals.
To view and modify the alarm thresholds, enter “C” from the Net
Port Alarm Menu to display the Net Port Alarm Threshold
Configuration Menu. Use this menu to set the monitoring interval
for several types of alarms and the alarm threshold for errored
seconds within the monitoring interval.
For example, if the LOF interval is set to 100 seconds, and the LOF
threshold is set to 5 seconds, then an alarm is sent if more than 5
errored seconds occur during a 100-second interval. The errored
count resets to zero after the end of the interval, unless there is an
alarm condition, and the first second of the next interval is also
errored. The alarm state continues until a new interval contains no
errors in the first second.
