There are two types for history alarms:

1. History alarms on NMS: this types get all alarms that synched between node at site &
U2000 server if node became down MNG & restored MNG again after specific time this
duration not synched by U2000 to get alarms at this duration use the second type
2. History alarms on NE: get all alarms on NE at site actual

to know link between two NE node and position for IF at each NE ( Site and facing) press on line
