The device itself may have a different severity for the alarm and send a subsequent clear to the SDM. When the SDM resynchronizes with the device and the alarm is still active on the device, the device's alarm status may revert to its previous severity. Note: Cleared alarms are automatically deleted after a certain time.
    AcknowledgeAcknowledges the alarm and assigns you as the owner of the alarm. Acknowledging an alarm does not affect the device status.

If the condition still exists on the device, the alarm may be raised when the SDM resynchronizes with the device or receives a Clear from the device.
