  • Critical: Displayed in red for critical failures that cause system or services to be non-functional and require immediate resolution and fix.

  • Major: Displayed in orange for failures that cause critical degradation of service and require immediate attention.

  • Minor: Displayed in yellow for failures that:

    • Cause degradation of service, but continue to support a crucial part of the system.

    • Require action, but the consequences of the failure are gradual.

    • Interfere with a feature or impair the services to trunks or stations.

  • Warning: Displayed in purple for failures that do not cause significant degradation of service. This alarm is not reported to the attendant console or Initialization and Administration System (INADS).

  • Indeterminate: Displayed in blue for an alarm that does not have any rules defined in the System Manager. It is displayed as a raw SNMP packet, as there is no information available in the System Manager for its description and severity. Hence, marked as Indeterminate.
