5.6.2.6 Set the Alarm Masks
Another way to adjust the Switch's reaction in AUTO mode is to mask modem faults. You may
disable modem Rx, Tx or both fault types so that the Switch does not react to them. This
masking prevents the Switch from taking automatic action and prevents the logging of the faults
in the stored events list.
These masks are global to all the modems attached to the Switch.
Use the CRS-300 Front Panel menu to set the Alarm Masks. Do these steps:
