 Notification

A notification is a prompt that occurs during the daily

operation of the NetNumen U31 (RAN) EMS to
remind maintenance personnel of system operation
status.

A notification indicates the occurrence of a

momentary event, but does not indicate potential
danger. A notification does not need to be cleared
unless it occurs repeatedly.

Usually a notification is a system prompt, and does

not affect services. However, under some certain
circumstances, a notification will affect services.
