The System Alarm Card object is a child of the System Hardware object in an Integrated Softswitch or Media Gateway. It corresponds to a physical alarm card in the MetaSwitch chassis, and monitors the state of the Controller with which the card is associated.
There are no configurable fields, but the object displays summary status information about
In the event of any failure, first check the Alarm state field in this object, to determine whether this shelf requires maintenance action. If maintenance action is necessary, the other fields in this object give more detailed information on the cause of the problem.
