Alarm Interface Controller Network Module
The Alarm Interface Controller (AIC) is a network module that greatly expands the network monitoring and control
capabilities of the Cisco 2600 and 3600 Series routers. The AIC functions as an integrated entity residing within the
Cisco 2600 Router to provide network alarm monitoring and remote control of network elements. The AIC reduces
service provider and enterprise operating expenses by facilitating a “single box” solution, doing away with the need
for a dedicated external alarm monitoring device. This greatly simplifies network layout, monitoring, and control
resulting in lower operations, administration, maintenance, and provisioning (OAM&P) costs. The AIC is supported
in Cisco IOS
®
12.2(8)T and beyond. The AIC network module supports 64 discrete alarm monitoring points, of
which 8 of the last 64 alarm points are software- configurable to accept either analog or discrete inputs. The AIC
further supports 16 control relays to facilitate the remote control of network elements.
