Viewing/Setting Alarm Masks
Demodulators that are typically being locked and unlocked, such as switched
demodulators/burst controllers, should have the Unlock Alarm masked. The
setting of other alarm masks will depend on usage and whether or not a BUC is
installed.
Alarms masks are viewed and set for the modem in the device view, as shown in
figure 6-20 and figure 6-21.

To mask/unmask alarms for a device, select the device in the left panel tree

pull-down menu to select either Unmasked or Masked.
The alarm mask settings shown in table 6-1 are for a typical VMS network.
