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.

As 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.
