10.3 Alarm Profiles

The alarm profiles feature allows you to change default alarm severities by creating unique alarm profiles
for individual ONS 15327 nodes. A profile you create can be applied to any node on the network. Alarm
profiles must be stored on a node before they can be applied to a node, card, or port. CTC can store up
to ten alarm profiles; eight are available for custom use and two are reserved. CTC can load an unlimited
number of alarm profiles that have been stored on a node, server, or CTC workstation.
The two reserved profiles include the default profile, which sets severities to standard Telcordia
GR-253-CORE settings, and the Inherited profile, which sets all alarm severities to transparent (TR). If
an alarm has an Inherited profile, it inherits (copies) its severity from the same alarm at the next level.
For example, a card with an Inherited alarm profile copies the severities used by the node that contains
the card. The Inherited profile is not available at the node level.

10.3.1 Creating and Modifying Alarm Profiles

Alarm profiles are created at the network view using the Provisioning > Alarm Profiles tabs
(Figure
loading the Default profile on the node, you can use the Clone feature to create new profiles based on
the default alarm profile. After the new profile is created, the Alarm Profiles subtab shows the default
profile and the new profile.
