Threshold values

HI,

This sounds simple, but just checking to make sure there is
not a trick that I'm missing.

In the alarm table, what is the behavior if the value for
the rising threshold is set below the value for the falling
threshold?

Is that "illegal", or does it mean that is legal, but
with no hysteresis?

If it is legal, and the alarm table and event table
have the following entries:

alarmInterval.1 = 20
alarmVariable.1 = myMonitoredValue.0
alarmSampleType.1 = absoluteValue(1)
alarmStartupAlarm.1 = risingAlarm(1)
alarmRisingThreshold.1 = 50
alarmFallingThreshold.1 = 100
alarmRisingEventIndex.1 = 1
alarmFallingEventIndex.1 = 1

eventType.1 = snmptrap(3)

What is the result for the following sequence of values?

myMonitoredValue.0 = 40
myMonitoredValue.0 = 55
myMonitoredValue.0 = 49
myMonitoredValue.0 = 51

Also, are there any references that walk through this and other
examples? (Other than found in books by Perkins, Held, Stallings,
and Miller)
