Troubleshooting
Controller card(s) poll the various modules for alarms. If alarm
reporting is enabled for the node and for the module(s), the node
controller card retrieves and sends the alarm to Access Manager
2000, Node Manager 2000, or an SNMP agent. Various alarms can
also be set up via the NCM 2000 module to trigger the dial backup
or backup T1 as part of the Advanced Automatic Protection
Switching feature.
An alarm list is provided under the alarms displays of the various
options of AM2000, NM2000, SNMP, or ASCII.
Alarms can also be automatically sent to a specified printer by
setting up the printer address in the various management utilities
menus.
