Third Party Alarms
iControl can recognize and display alarms for devices and services from third party companies. As a minimum, all such devices/services are represented by overall alarms that can be viewed in iC Navigator, in the GSM Alarm Browser, and on Web pages. In many cases, a broader set of alarms can also be displayed.
The relationship between alarms in iC Navigator and in the GSM Alarm Browser is shown below.
