When a fault is found during a test, an alarm will be flagged to you. This will appear in the Alarm Overview and All Alarms pages. It will also increment the number of alarms in the panel at the bottom of the screen.
Each alarm has its own row in the table below, with its own set of unique information. Clicking on an alarm in the table will open the Alarm Details page which is described later in this guide.
1.The Equipment / Network column tells you which piece of equipment, or which part of the network, has flagged up the alarm.
2.State gives information on the alarm status. Outstanding is the first state and is caused by a fault found in a test, still waiting for a person to intervene. Once an Outstanding alarm has been accepted, the alarm state will change to Accepted. Once you run the same test again and there is no longer an alarm flagged up on that piece of equipment or network, the previously Outstanding or Accepted state will change to Resolved.
3.Date that the alarm was created.
4.Source is from which area flagged the alarm.
