Managing Alarms
After you complete the definition of an alarm action, you must assign it
to a severity level. Up to four actions can be assigned to a severity level.
When an alarm of a particular severity level occurs, all actions assigned
to it are executed (unless disabled by time and date settings).
NOTE: You must enable alarms for alarm actions to take place.
Check the Enable Alarm check box on the Alarm tab to enable
alarm actions.
Alarm Beeps and Sounds
Specify a name for the alarm action
By default, Sniffer Portable Professional makes a single beep sound
when an alarm occurs. If you prefer another sound, you can replace the
standard beep with any .wav sound file. To do this, click the button
on the Alarm tab and select the file.
