How Do I Acknowledge Alerts?
AirWave can send out customizable alerts on over 35 types of events. You can control the alerting behavior by
creating triggers on the System >Triggers page.
Workflow
Normally AirWave will not alert on an event if there is an existing, unacknowledged alert for the same event (for
example, a radio with > 80% utilization). To tell AirWave that you are ready for it to start alerting on that event
again, the alert needs to be either acknowledged or deleted on the System >Alerts page.
