The Alarm Card object is a child of the MetaSwitch object. There are two instances of the Alarm Card object for each instance of the MetaSwitch object ('Alarm card on Shelf A' and 'Alarm card on Shelf B'). Each instance of the Alarm Card object corresponds to a physical alarm card in the MetaSwitch chassis, and monitors the state of the shelf in which the card is located.
There are no configurable fields, but the object displays summary status information about
Note that the Shelf state must be MetaSwitch running and the Alarm card state must be Ready (indicating that the MetaSwitch software is running and has completed initialization) before any of the other fields in this object are valid.
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.
