Introduction 24

Access Server Administrators’ Reference Guide 4 • Alarms

Introduction

The access server has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test

major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify if equipment fails (for example, a power supply

failure) or if a T1/E1/PRI port malfunctions. There are 11 access server items that can be configured by the

user to generate alerts based on the condition of the access server. The access server has three methods to notify

of an alarm condition:

• Front panel LED—The front panel ALARM LED has three states that indicate the presence and severity of

an alarm. The states are:

- Off—No alarm present

- Solid—Minor alarm

- Flashing—Major alarm.

• Administration web page indication—The alarms window of the administration page uses highlighting to

indicate which items are in alarm state and how critical the alarm is according to the alarm severity set (see

figure 9):

- Red—Indicates that the alarm has been designated as a critical alarm by the system administrator

- Gold—Indicates that the alarm has been designated as a major alarm by the system administrator

- Yellow—Iindicates that the alarm has been designated as a minor alarm by the system administrator

- Blue—Indicates that the alarm has informational value only as designated by the system administrator

- None—There is no alarm present or the system administrator has chosen for the alarm to be ignored
