Description: The type of the alarm.

The value of this field is unique within the name space defined by otmAlarmNameSpace.

The format of this object is device-dependent.

The Meridian 1 format is AAAA9999, where the numeric portion is unique within the alpha portion.

The SL-100 format is AAAAA99999, where the numeric portion is unique within the alpha portion.

What is otmType?

This device-dependent string, 1 to 16 characters, identifies the specific type of alarm, unique within the namespace given by otmNameSpace; for example Meridian 1 uses an AAAA9999 format and SL-100 uses AAAAA99999. Admins use it to look up the exact alarm condition in vendor documentation once the namespace establishes which format applies. For example, an otmType of 'MTC1234' under the meridian1 namespace maps to a specific documented Meridian 1 maintenance alarm code.
