Nortel DMS-100 Audible Alarm Table (AUDALARM)

Table Name

Audible Alarm Table

Functional Description of Table AUDALARM

This table specifies the alarm level for log reports from the security subsystem.  You cannot view and manipulate these reports.  You can specify alarm levels for these reports in the following two methods:

Log devices do not print secret alarms.  When a secret report causes an alarm, the alarm system generates a non-secret log.  This non-secret log only records that an alarmed secret report is logged.

You cannot add or delete tuples from this table with the LOGUTIL facility at the Maintenance and Administration Position (MAP) terminal.  The log system adds tuples automatically at restart time.  Each log report has the alarm level set to No Alarm (NA) by default.  The only correct user operation for this table is to change the alarm level of a report.  Changes to the alarm level occur immediately.  Restart is not required.

Datafill Sequence & Table Size

You do not need to enter data in other tables before you enter data in table AUDALARM.  One tuple is in this table for every secret log in the system (64 tuples maximum).

Datafill Example

The system automatically inserts tuples in this table for each log report.  The alarm level entries for these tuples are always set to the default value NA.  The entries required to change the alarm level for log reports appear in the following table.  These entries change log report SECU$109 to major, and the alarm level for log report SECU$111 to minor.
