4.5.1 Viewing Alarms

Unlike the ONU CLI the OLT CLI does not offer any ability to control the alarms manger.
Fortunately the Evaluation Kit GUI exposes all of the underlying functionality.

Observing Alarm Events

Alarm may be observed remotely via the Evaluation Kit GUI, in 4 ways:

The GUI Log Window will display all autonomous alarm messages received from the OLT’s
10/100 MGMT port. If alarm auditing is enabled the GUI may also be configured to display
messages received based on the audit.

The appropriate Status Icon will change to a yellow triangle indicating that an alarm is
raised.

The Active Alarms panel associated with the alarmed entity will indicate the exact alarm
that has been received from the host interface. This record will be maintained until an event
causes the alarm to clear. Alarms will be cleared when the GUI receives a clear alarm
message or another network event signifying that the alarm condition is no longer present.
