Use this page to determine how notification of the different fatal,
alert, warning, and information events should occur. You can choose
to only count the events, display them to the console but not store
them, record them after displaying them on the console, or notify
someone of the occurrence after displaying and recording the event.

Disposition of Events (by Severity Level)
The event settings control how events are handled by the device:
counted, displayed in the log, recorded, or announced in a notification.
The settings are color coded: red for fatal errors, magenta for
alerts, blue for warnings, and green for information. You select
an option from each setting's pull-down menu. Each option includes
and builds upon the previous option.
- Count -- Tallies the total events
occurring in this category without any form of notification or
display.
- Display Console -- Provides a read-only display of the
event but does not record it.
- Record -- Makes a record of the event in the log and provides
a read-only display of the event.
- Notify -- Makes a record of the event in the log, displays
the event, and tells the device to notify someone of the occurrence.
Handle Alerts as Severity Level
You use this setting to set a severity level for System Alerts.
Use the pull-down menus to choose one of the 16 severity levels.
Alerts indicate that action has to be taken to correct the condition.
Warnings indicate a potential error condition. Information is simply
routine notification of some sort of action; no error has occurred.
The *silent* option is not available for station events, however.
