Chapter 8: System Alarms
Overview
There are two ways to view alarms for the Tenor DX unit: through the Command Line Interface (CLI) or
through Tenor Monitor.
The information for accessing alarms via CLI is detailed in this chapter: see the Tenor Configuration Man-
ager/Tenor Monitor User’s Guide for information about viewing alarms via Tenor Monitor.
Monitor Alarms
Alarms are brief text messages that appear on your workstation when the Tenor DX unit encounters a prob-
lem, such as a failed interface, disconnected call, etc. You can reach the Alarm Manager through the Com-
mand Line Interface (CLI) alarm monitoring system.
How to Read Alarms
The Alarm Manager reports alarms according to criteria such as the alarm’s severity level, line number the
alarm occurred on, channel number, etc. There are two alarm types displayed: Active Alarms and Alarm His-
tory. An Active Alarm list displays all the alarms still active on the system; these alarms have not been cleared
or deleted. An Alarm History is a list of the last 100 alarms stored in the system since the last time you per-
formed a delete operation.
Definitions for generated alarm fields appear in Table 8-1.
