Alarms
The Acme Packet 6300/6350 generates internal alarms that correspond to internal hardware fault conditions. Hardware faults are divided into two types:
- Hardware and environmental
- Media link
Each alarm is assigned a severity level, depending on the details of the fault. Refer to the following table for information about these alarms.
Table 6-1 Alarm Severity Levels
| Alarm Severity | Description |
|---|---|
| Minor | Functionality is impaired to a small degree (e.g., a single fan has failed). |
| Major | Pending failures or unexpected events are imminent (e.g., an LOS). |
| Critical | Catastrophic condition has occurred (e.g., the system is overheating). |
The Acme Packet 6300/6350 polls its hardware components to ensure they are functioning properly. If it encounters a fault condition, it will report alarms in these categories:
- Hardware temperature
- Fan speed
- Environmental sensor
- Power supply
- Voltage
- Physical interface cards
For each category, the following tables list the Acme Packet 6300/6350 alarm name, hardware alarm ID, alarm severity, causes, log message, and graphic display window message, if any.
