Procedure

1. Choose Device Management > Alarms Management > Alarm Settings from the main menu.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Personalization > Alarm Sounds.
3. On the Alarm Sounds page, set different sounds for alarms at different severities.
   • Click to listen to the selected sound file.
   • Click . In the Custom Alarm Sound dialog box that is displayed, upload, view, or delete a custom alarm sound file.
   • Click and select the alarms for Sound by alarm name. A maximum of 20 alarms can be selected.

4. Set Alarm Status for alarms at different severities for which the system will play sounds.

   When an alarm whose status is the specified one at the specified severity is reported or the status of an alarm changes to the specified status, the system plays the corresponding alarm sound.

5. Set the duration for playing the alarm sound. When an alarm is reported, the corresponding alarm sound is automatically stopped after being played for the specified duration. At the same time, the alarm indicator keeps blinking for the specified duration even the alarm sound is muted. When all alarms at the severity that trigger the corresponding alarm sound are cleared or acknowledged, the alarm sound and the blinking of the alarm indicator are stopped. When an alarm specified in Sound by alarm name is cleared or acknowledged, the alarm sound and the blinking of the alarm indicator are not stopped.
6. Select whether to enable the sound setting. If the sound setting is disabled, the sound is not played when an alarm at the corresponding severity is reported.
7. Click OK.
   

   When an alarm meets both the Sound by alarm name rule and the severity (Critical, Major, Minor, or Warning) rule, and both the rules are enabled, the alarm sound set in the sound by alarm name rule is played for the alarm.
