Alarms 7-1
Chapter 7
Monitoring and Statistics
Collection
This chapter describes the alarms, sanity checks (configuration errors and
warnings), main link and voice module statistics supported by Vmux-2100.
7.1 Alarms
Vmux-2100 detects fault conditions and initiates alarms and events to alert the
user:
• Alarms (major and minor) have two statuses, ON and OFF. Alarm status
changes to OFF, when a fault condition that caused it is cleared.
• Events have only ON status.
Alarm Buffer
Vmux-2100 maintains two alarm buffers:
• Temporary buffer, represented in the Display All Alarms screen. The user can
delete all alarms, including the active ones from this display.
• Permanent buffer, represented in the Alarm Status screen. The user can
delete only inactive alarms from the Alarm Status display.
An alarm enters simultaneously both Display All Alarms and Alarm Status logs, and
the ALM LED turns on to indicate the condition. In addition, Vmux-2100 displays
ALARM ON indication in the top right-hand corner of the terminal screen. When
the event that caused the alarm is cleared, the alarm status changes to OFF,
enabling the user to remove it from the permanent buffer.
Working with the Temporary Alarm Buffer
The temporary buffer is represented by the Display All Alarms screen.
To access the Display All Alarms screen:
1. From the Main menu, choose Monitoring.
The Monitoring menu appears.
2. From the Monitoring menu, choose Status.
The Status menu appears (see Figure 7-1).
