| 4  | Retrieve alarms for the network elements of interest using fm.FaultManager.findAlarmsForOfn. See the XML API Reference for more information. | 
| 5  | As required, configure alarm policies. See Alarm policies for more information. | 
| 6  | As required, acknowledge, clear, or promote/demote the alarms. See Alarm management for more information. |
