In situations where a standby FOXMAN‑UN is to be brought from idle to working status, there is a requirement to perform an alarm synchronization on all NEs in the network. This brings the alarm database in line with the current alarm status of the entire managed network.

For situations where no GUI is accessible or where there is a need to automate the switch-over from working to standby system, a FOXMAN‑UN command performing the alarm synchronization of the entire network is provided.
