As a protection from a build up of outstanding unacknowledged alarms or from sudden surge of intermittent alarms, FOXMAN-UN can auto acknowledge alarms.

In auto acknowledge mode, cleared alarms are automatically acknowledged and then moved from the database to the alarm history.

It is also possible to define the maximum number of alarms per NE to be held in the database. If this number is exceeded, any cleared alarms are written to the alarm history and removed from the database. In this way the application can protect itself from overload conditions.
