Shows a brief, read-only description of the alarm.

To enable an alarm or to make an alarm unavailable, use this check box.

If a check mark appears in the box, the alarm is enabled (active).

To make the alarm unavailable (deactivate the alarm), clear the check mark from the check box.

When enabled, the alarm is triggered (made active) when the condition associated with it exists on a managed server Server that is managed by the Enterprise Manager application..

When an alarm is made unavailable, the alarm cannot be triggered.

Each alarm is enabled by default.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing have different values configured for this field.

Check to indicate that the alarm is to give off a warning sound when triggered. To prevent the alarm from giving off a warning sound when triggered, clear the check mark.

If audible notifications are made unavailable in the Global Alarm Settings, this setting is unavailable and cannot be enabled.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing have different values configured for this field.

Select a priority level for this alarm. The default priority levels are listed here in order of their severity.

• Major (most severe)

• Warning

• Minor

• Information (least severe)

You can add new a new alarm priority if necessary.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing have different values configured for this field.

An alarm priority can change as part of a new release. If you manually edit an alarm priority, and the alarm priority changes as part of either a KB, update release, or other new release, the manually edited priority resets to the new default value.

Specifies the Trigger Delay interval for an alarm (in seconds).

This setting is disabled (either empty or set to zero) by default. Usually, you can accept the default and leave this setting disabled.

This setting is an advanced setting that is needed only in particular circumstances. This setting prevents administrators from being notified of alarms that require no action by the administrator to resolve.

The Trigger Delay interval specifies the number of seconds that passes between the detection Function of the IAFD product that compares a caller’s voice to one or more voiceprints in a watch list to detect if a target is participating in a call. of an alarm and the time that the user is notified of the alarm. (The user is notified either through the appearance of the alarm in the user interface, an email notification, or an SNMP notification).

Specify a Trigger Delay value only when a particular alarm repeatedly turns on and then off and requires no action by the administrator to resolve it.

Sometimes, the typical operating conditions in an environment can cause a specific alarm to be repeatedly turned on and off. For example, if your environment frequently experiences short network disconnections that trigger an alarm, configure this setting to prevent administrators from being repeatedly notified of the alarm.

If you specify a value for this setting, the recommended value is 10 seconds. Sometimes you need to experiment with this value to determine the appropriate delay period.

When this setting is disabled, there is no Trigger Delay and the alarm is raised as soon as it is detected.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing have different values configured for this field.

Specifies the number of seconds that the Alarm Service waits to resend an SNMP notification for an unacknowledged alarm.

The Alarm Service sends an SNMP notification when it detects an alarm. If this setting is selected, the system resends this SNMP notification at regular intervals until the alarm is acknowledged.

The SNMP Notification option must be selected in the Global Alarm Settings tab for this option to be in effect.

This setting is blank by default. When this setting is blank, the SNMP notification is not re-sent.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing specify different values for this field.

Allows you to schedule the alarm. You can specify the days of the week, and the times of the day, that the alarm is in effect. To open the Time window and set times, or to type times in the format hh:mm:AM/PM, click the Clock icon.

The alarm can only be triggered during the times in which it is scheduled to be in effect. By default, an alarm is configured to be in effect seven days a week, 24 hours a day.

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing specify different values for this field.

This option does not appear for all alarms.

If applicable, use this option to specify a value, or threshold, at which the alarm is triggered.

Each alarm is different. Some alarms are triggered when the value rises above the specified threshold (threshold is above). Other alarms are triggered when the value falls below the specified threshold (threshold is below).

This option does not appear for all alarms.

If applicable, use this option to specify a value, or threshold, at which the alarm is automatically acknowledged (that is, put to history/made inactive) by the system.

Each alarm is different. Some alarms are automatically acknowledged when the value rises above the specified threshold (threshold is above). Other alarms are acknowledged when the value falls below the specified threshold (threshold is below).

This option can work with the Alarm when threshold is above/below option. For example, you can set the Alarm when threshold is above option to 3000 and the Acknowledge Alarm when threshold is below option to 2000. In this configuration, the alarm is raised (becomes active) when the value exceeds 3000. The system does not automatically acknowledge the alarm until the value goes back below 2000.

In the example above, the alarm is not acknowledged until the value is safely below the threshold at which it was triggered. Ensure that the two values differ by a reasonable amount. Do not set the two values too close together. If the system wavers back and forth across the threshold value, values that are too close together can cause repeated triggering and acknowledgment of the alarm.

To assign a notification profile List of email addresses or SNMP nodes assigned to an alarm. If the alarm is triggered, the email addresses and the SNMP nodes receive a notification. to an alarm, select a profile from the Available Profiles pane (left). To move that profile to the AssignedProfiles pane (right), click the right-pointing arrow. To remove alarm notification profiles from this alarm, reverse this process.

The notification profiles assigned to an alarm determine who receives email notification, and which SNMP nodes receive SNMP traps, when an alarm is triggered.

For more information about notification profiles, see Alarm notification profiles. (Alarm notifications are not configured to work by default, and must be configured to operate.)

If you are simultaneously editing multiple alarms, an asterisk (*) can appear in this field. The asterisk indicates that the alarms you are editing specify different values for this field. For more information, see Edit multiple alarms simultaneously.

When you change alarm configuration settings, you select an Installation tree node and make the configuration changes. These buttons determine how the configuration changes are applied to the child nodes of the selected Installations tree node.

• Save - To apply the changes to the selected node, click this option.

  If the child nodes were never previously altered and saved, the changes are also applied to the child nodes.

  If the child nodes were previously altered and saved, the changes are not applied to the child nodes.

• Save and Apply to Children - To apply the changes to the selected node and all of its child nodes, click this option. The changes are always applied to the child nodes.

• Revert to Parent - To change all settings to be the same as the parent node of currently selected node, click this option .

• Revert - to return the alarm settings to the settings that existed the last time the Alarm Settings screen was saved, click this option. The screen remains open and you can continue to change it.

• Cancel - To close the Alarm Settings screen without saving changes, click this option.
