Alarm Profile Editor
Use the Alarm Profile Editor subtab (all views) to view and change default alarm severities. You can create unique alarm profiles for the ONS nodes, cards, and ports. Alarm profiles must be stored locally on a node before they can be applied to the node, cards, or ports.
CTC can store up to ten active alarm profiles at any time to apply to the node. Custom profiles can take eight of these active profile positions, and two are reserved by CTC. The reserved Default profile contains Telcordia GR-253-CORE severities. The reserved Inherited profile allows port alarm severities to be inherited from the card-level severities, or card alarm severities to be inherited by the node-level severities.

Description
Alarm Type::Condition
Displays ONS node alarms and conditions in alphabetical order. For alarm descriptions and troubleshooting procedures, from the Help menu, choose Contents and Index and scroll to the Alarm Troubleshooting topic.
User profiles
When additional alarm profiles are created, they appear next to the default alarm profile with the name assigned by the user. Clicking on the alarm in the created alarm profile field displays a menu listing alarm severities. Right-clicking the column displays a shortcut menu from which you can choose to Store (save), Rename, Clone (duplicate), Reset, or Remove (delete) the alarm profile.
Only show service-affecting severities
If unchecked, the editor shows severities in the format <sev1>/<sev2> where <sev1> is a service-affecting severity and <sev1> is not service-affecting. If checked, the editor only shows <sev1> alarms.
Hide reference values
When checked, rows in other profiles that match the reference profile are hidden. (The first profile loaded into the editor is the reference profile.)
Hide identical rows
When checked, identical rows do not appear.
