11.4 Alarm Filter
Alarm profiles form a hierarchy. A node-level alarm profile applies to all cards in the node except cards
that have their own profiles. A card-level alarm profile applies to all ports on the card except ports that
have their own profiles.
At the node level, you can apply profile changes on a card-by-card basis or set a profile for the entire
node. At the card-level view, you can apply profile changes on a port-by-port basis for all ports on that
card. Figure 11-6 shows an OC48 card view of an alarm profile.

11.4 Alarm Filter
Alarm display can be filtered to keep particular alarm severities, or alarms that occur between certain
dates, from appearing in the Alarms window (Figure 11-2 on page 11-5). You can set the parameters of
the filter by clicking Filter at the bottom-left of the Alarms window. You can turn the filter on or off by
clicking the Filter icon button at the bottom-right of the window. CTC retains your filter activation
setting. For example, if you turn the filter on and then log out, CTC makes the filter active the next time
your user ID is activated.
