The Inhibits tab in the connection Row Edit dialog box allows you to inhibit events and alarms associated with the connection record.
You may inhibit alarms and events resulting from changes to normal or off-normal states. Normal and off-normal states for a connection are determined by alarms that are related to the following:
-
Modem failure (connection lost, unable to establish connection).
-
Configuration errors (cannot assign device).
-
Dial-up line communication errors.
