Description: A list of alarm conditions for all devices managed by this agent. This table contains zero, one, or many rows at any moment, depending upon the number of alarm conditions in effect or conditions not acnowledged. The agent creates a row in the table each time a condition is detected and deletes that row when that condition no longer pertains (becomes inactive and is acknowledged). The agent creates the first row with tlpAlarmId equal to 1, and increments the value of tlpAlarmId each time a new row is created, wrapping to the first free value greater than or equal to 1 when the maximum value of tlpAlarmId would otherwise be exceeded. Consequently, after multiple operations, the table may become sparse (e.g., containing entries for rows 95, 100, 101, and 203) and the entries should not be assumed to be in chronological order because tlpAlarmId might have wrapped.

The number of rows in the table at any given time is reflected by the value of tlpAlarmsPresent.
