Alarm attributes
crocusShdslTtRpG703/…/alarmMask
Use this attribute to mask or unmask the alarms of an object. This determines whether an active alarm …
• is forwarded to the central management system (e.g. TMA Element Management or HP OpenView)
or not.
• causes a change of colour in the subsystem picture (refer to Chapter 10 - TMA subsystem picture of
the Crocus SHDSL G703 on page 231).
The alarms in the alarmMask attribute have the following values:
Value
enabled
disabled
Is the active alarm being forwarded to the central management system
Does the active alarm cause a change of colour in the subsystem picture
Yes. So the alarm is unmasked.
No. So the alarm is masked.
Alarms are always seen in the alarmInfo alarm attribute of an object, regardless of the masking of the
alarm. I.e. even if an alarm is set to disabled in the alarmMask of an object, if the alarm condition is fulfilled
then the alarm will be set to on in the alarmInfo of that object. However, because this alarm is disabled it
will not be sent to the central management system.
Only the most important alarms are unmasked (i.e. enabled) by default. All other alarms are masked (i.e.
disabled).
crocusShdslTtRpG703/…/alarmLevel
Use this attribute to assign a priority level to each alarm of the corresponding object. The alarm level
range goes from 0 to 254, where 0 is the lowest and 254 is the highest priority level.
The alarmLevel of an unmasked, active alarm is sent to the totalAlarmLevel of the top object
crocusShdslTtRpG703.
