Alarms

A primary function of the NCM is the handling of alarm messages
from the application modules. Alarms are sent to the optional
Verilink Node Manager application if it is used. Alarms will be sent
to an SNMP manager if the TCP/IP options under the Network
Configuration submenu of the Administration Menu are properly
configured. See

“The Network Configuration Menu”

in Chapter 3.

NOTE: The ACP-type application modules have been designed to send

messages to an NCM 2000 node controller. Legacy TABS type cards

were designed before the NCM and may occasionally report alarms

to the NCM but fail to report later when these alarms have cleared.

Users should be aware that under some circumstances the NCM

alarm indication may fall out of sync with certain TABS-based cards.

In addition to reporting alarms to an SNMP Trap Host or Verilink
Node Manager, the NCM is also able to display alarm messages in
real time on the Craft interface terminal. This is configured
through the Alarms Option Menu.

The Alarm command displays the Alarm Options Menu for the
currently selected module. If the NCM is currently selected the
following menu appears.
