Fault Management
Introduction
The key requirement of any Network Management system is to detect any faults, inform the operator, and provide the means to take appropriate actions to remedy the fault.
Fault Management in FOXMAN-UN can be subdivided into two areas:
• Alarm Handling,
• Status Monitoring.
Fault Management is one of the main menu entries in the NEM Desktop. The fault management menu provides the functions:
• Alarm Summary,
• Alarm List,
• Alarm History,
• Alarm Customization.
The resulting lists from each of these functions can be filtered/sorted as well as printed or exported for further analysis if required.
The Alarm List can also be called from both the NEM Configurator and the NEM Network Browser from a specific NE.
