Alarm Acknowledgement in the GSM Alarm Browser
In the GSM alarm browser, the status buttons are divided into three sections. The left side
provides the current status, the upper left area provides the server latched status, and the
lower right area provides the acknowledgement status. The combination of all three statuses
is part of the alarm acknowledgement functionality.
Current: This is the status of the alarm state of the alarm as it currently stands.
Latched: This is the last alarm state that the alarm has been through since the latch was last
reset.
Acknowledgment: This alarm status indicates alarms that require immediate attention when
displaying yellow or red. When an operator has acknowledged the alarm, the status becomes
solid red if the cause has not yet been resolved OR solid green if the cause of the alarm is
resolved.
Alarms: Pessimistic Status
Acknowledgement behavior is shown in the following table. The top row represents the
current acknowledgement status; the left most column represents the current alarm status.
The result according to pessimistic logic is the new acknowledgement status that will appear
the next time the alarm updates. For example, a red current acknowledgement status and a
black current alarm status results in a red new acknowledgement status.
IMPORTANT: Select Show status details to display alarm acknowledgement in the
Alarm Browser
Alarm acknowledgement only displays in the GSM Alarm Browser when
Show status details is selected for the applicable GSM (see
