Manage Alerts, Alert me when a node goes down, test

Hello Network Performance Manager forum,

Setting up email alerts for hosts that go down.

At Start>All programs>SolarWinds Orion>Alerting, Reporting, and Mapping>
Advanced Alert Manager>'Configure alerts'
At the Manage Alerts dialogue box

'Alert me when a node goes down' is chosen, then Edit.

In the Edit Alert dialogue box, at the 'Trigger Condition' tab,

beneath 'Trigger alert when all of the following apply'
The condition 'Node Status is equal to Down'
At the Trigger Actions tab "Edit Selected Action ' is then set to send me an email.
Back at 'Manage Alerts' the 'Test button is clicked. a node is selected and
'Test Alert Trigger ' is clicked.

This works and an email is sent.

So I figured I would I would test the Reset function.
So back at the Edit Alert dialogue box, for the same alert
'Alert me when a node goes down' in the Reset Actions tab
the 'Edit Selected Action ' is then set to send me an email.

Back at 'Manage Alerts' the 'Test' button is clicked. A node is selected and

'Test Alert Reset ' is clicked.
But the result on this testis negative: no email is sent.

Of course the Trigger Condition is  'Node Status is equal to Down'
so perhaps the Rest Actions ignores this. But the node was not down

for the Test Alert Trigger test so why would the Test Alert Reset test
not also work?

Second question. How to test the Test Alert Reset.

Thanks
