20 Administrative Tasks
This chapter describes the following administrative tasks that you
can perform using Configuration Manager:
 Viewing System Alarms
 Upgrading the Software
 Using Diagnostics
 Modifying Port Settings
You can access these tasks from the Admin tab task bar. The other
Admin tasks listed in the Admin tab—Configuring User Logon and
Committing and Rebooting—are described in Chapter 4, “Getting
Started with the Configuration Manager.”
Viewing System Alarms
You can use the Configuration Manager to view information about
alarms that occur in the system. Alarms, also called traps, are
caused by a variety of system events, including connection attempts,
resets, and configuration changes.
Although you will not typically need to view this information, it may
be helpful in working with your ISP to troubleshoot problems you
encounter with the device. (Despite their name, not all alarms
indicate problems in the functioning of the system.)
Viewing the Alarm Table
To display the Alarm page, log into the Configuration Manager, click
the Admin tab, and then click Alarm in the task bar.
The Alarm page is shown in Figure 67.
Figure 67. Alarm Page
Each row in the table displays the time and date that an alarm
occurred, the type of alarm, and a brief statement indicating its
cause.
