the following traits for a threshold:

Time Base—The time base (second, minute, hour, day) for the area
•
Low Boundary—The low threshold for the event-setting comparisons
•
High Boundary—The high threshold for the event-setting comparisons
•
Buffer Size—The size of the buffer zone used in event-setting comparisons
Use the following procedure to configure threshold traits.

Configuring threshold alarms

notification settings for each event setting.
The alarm naming convention is modified for Port, E-Port, and F/FL class types:
•
“Above” is called “High Above”
•
“Below” is called “Low Below”
•
“In Between” is called “High Below”
The Low Above action alarm supports all port class types for these options:
