Manage ASAP

The Manage ASAP (Alarm Severity Assignment Profile) option allows you to define the alarm severity in TJ5500. By default, the alarms have the severity as defined in TJ5100. The severity of these alarms can be redefined in TJ5500 through Manage ASAP option. The severity changes done through ASAP will be reflected only on subsequent alarms reported and not on existing alarms.

The user can filter the alarms on based on Probable Cause, Assigned Severity, and Object Type.
Edit the desired alarm:

- To block an alarm on NMS, select Blocked check box corresponding to the alarm.
- To edit the object type, double click Object Type of the alarm and select the object from the drop-down options displayed.
- To assign severity, double click the severity of the alarm and select the desired value from the drop-down options displayed.
  NOTE:
  An alarm can be assigned severity in NMS only when Ems Defined Severity check box corresponding to the alarm is un-checked.
  
  On editing an alarm on Manage ASAP page, TejEMS ASAP heading will get highlighted in blue with an asterisk mark until the change is saved.
