Suppressing Alarms
10.4 Suppressing Alarms
Suppressing alarms causes alarms to appear under the Conditions tab instead of the Alarms tab. It
prevents alarms from appearing on CTC Alarm or History tabs or in any other clients. The suppressed
alarms behave like conditions, which have their own non-reporting (NR) severities. Under the
Conditions tab, the suppressed alarms appear with their alarm severity, color code, and service-affecting
status.
Use alarm suppression with caution. If multiple CTC/TL1 sessions are open, you will suppress the
Note
alarms in all other open sessions.
