An AGNE communication failure alarm may occur if an AGNE has not yet been provisioned for the alarm group.

You will have to enable the remote NE status again once the AGNE has been established in order for this NE to be part of the alarm group.

Result:

The AGNE communication failure alarm is no longer present.
