Resetting a Node's Alarm Instances

Once you've identified a node that is experiencing a problem and have addressed the problem, you may want to reset all the alarm instances monitoring that node to Ground. You can reset all of these alarm instances using the procedure below:

 
  To reset the alarm instances:

  1. From the client's Admin menu, choose Node List.

    The Node List window is displayed.

    nodelist3

  2. Select the node whose alarm instances you want to reset.
  3. Place your cursor over the selected instance and right-click to bring up the node pop-up menu.

    resetByNode4

  4. Select Reset Alarms from the pop-up menu.

Resetting All Instances of an Alarm

When you select an alarm from the Alarm Definition List and perform a reset operation on it, you reset to Ground all the current instances of that alarm. That is, if you are using the Authentication behavior model and instances of the Authentication alarm have been instantiated for three nodes, all three instances will be deleted when you reset the Authentication alarm.

 
  To reset an alarm:

  1. From the client's Admin menu, choose Alarm Definition List.

    The Alarm Definition List window is displayed.

    alarmDefList5

  2. Select the alarm whose instances you want to reset from the list.
  3. With your cursor over the selected alarm, right-click to bring up the alarm pop-up menu.

    alarmPopUp6

  4. Select Reset to Ground from the pop-up menu.
