The legend appears in both Topology views and shows the colors, shapes, and symbols that appear on the map.

NOTE: Status Unknown means that the modem has never been reachable; a modem in this state is considered offline for purposes of an Outage threshold. In-Home Issues Unknown means that insufficient information is available to calculate a likelihood.

Alarm Central superimposes colors, shapes, and symbols onto service locations to indicate:

  • Alarms: Indicates alarm severity. Alarms that are not selected are shown with muted colors.
  • Miscellaneous: Includes items such as selection status, icons, inspection points, and downstream indicators.
  • Status (Outage alarms): Indicates whether the service location exceeds the threshold for number of offline modems.
  • Spectrum Analyzer: Indicates whether a modem supports spectrum analysis and whether it is active or paused.
  • In-Home Issues: Indicates whether the service location exceeds the threshold for In-Home Issues.
