Alarm Behavior (Card View)


Use the Alarm Behavior subtab to view and change alarm profiles assigned to the ONS node cards. The ONS node is shipped with two reserved profiles: Default (all alarms meet Telcordia GR-253-CORE severities) and Inherited (all alarms behave according to the parent alarm profile: port > card > node).

Item

Description

Port

The port number.

Profile

The alarm profile provisioned for the port. Default is the profile shipped with the ONS node and has the Telcordia GR-253-CORE severities. "Inherited from Card profile" means the port uses the alarm severities assigned to the slot in the Card Profile field. If custom profiles are loaded, they can be assigned at the port level. An Inherited profile uses the values from the profile one level up:

  • A profile applied to a port uses the card profile.

  • A profile applied to a card uses the node profile.

  • A profile applied to a node uses the Default profile.

Suppress Alarms

If checked, suppresses all alarms that occur at the port.
