In the GSM alarm browser, the status buttons are divided into three sections. The left side provides the current status, the upper left area provides the server latched status, and the lower right area provides the acknowledgement status. The combination of all three statuses is part of the alarm acknowledgement functionality.

Current: This is the status of the alarm state of the alarm as it currently stands.

Latched: This is the last alarm state that the alarm has been through since the latch was last reset.

Acknowledgment: This alarm status indicates alarms that require immediate attention when displaying yellow or red. When an operator has acknowledged the alarm, the status becomes solid red if the cause has not yet been resolved OR solid green if the cause of the alarm is resolved.
