which says that
ituPerceivedSeverity must be changed to alarmModelState. Why this
change? Isn't this just a typo where ituPerceivedSeverity should be
ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity?&nbsp; There are multiple occurrances of
ituPerceivedSeverity in 6.2 &amp; 6.3 which seem to me should be
ituAlarmPerceivedSeverity.<br>
<br>
2. None of the examples use the index attribute alarmListName for
objects which have this as an index, such as the value for
ituAlarmGenericModel.&nbsp; To be complete shouldn't the examples define an
alarmListName (or use 0 as the index value indicating no name)?<br>
<br>
3. It's not clear to me how one matches a clear event to an existing
active alarm so it can be removed from the active table and the
alarmActiveIndex value used for the clear event in the clear table.&nbsp;
It's (relatively) easy if the notification and resource IDs are the
same for the clear and current active. When the notification ids are
different between clear and raise, </font><font face="Courier New">or
if there are multiple active alarms, </font><font face="Courier New">it
seems that some other methodology is required which I don't
particularly see.&nbsp; Any insights would be appreciated.<br>
