Alarm Profiles
10.3.6 Applying Alarm Profiles
In CTC card view, the Alarm Behavior subtab displays the alarm profiles of the selected card. In node
view, the Alarm Behavior subtab displays alarm profiles for the node. Alarms form a hierarchy. A
node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node, except those that have their own profiles. A
card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card, except those that have their own profiles.
At the node level, you may apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node.

shows the profile of an OC-12 card being changed to Inherited at the node view.

once.
