| Description | If the management client writes a value of 'true' to this
object, the agent stops signalling all external audible alarms
under the control of the agent. Reading this object should
always result in a value of 'false'.
Observe that alarm cutoff does not have an effect on monitoring,
history logging, generation of notifications, or syslog message
generation. It also does not prevent the agent from signalling
external audible alarms for alarms asserted after alarm-cutoff.
This object emulates the 'alarm cut-off' mechanism typically
installed in a central office (e.g., a big red button). Observe
this object should neither affect external visual alarms under
the control of the agent, nor should it affect the current state
of alarms being asserted by the system. |
