Input/Output External Alarms Window
Follow the steps below for both the Local and Remote sides.
The microcontroller in the IDU reads alarm inputs (dry contact) and transmits them to the network management
system. This allows Intrepid-HC HP/T to report external alarms that are not related to its own system.
For each alarm on the left side of the window, do the following:
2.
Click the box next to the alarm number to enable/disable the alarm.
3.
If you enable an alarm, enter a description of the alarm in the text field.
4.
Select the alarm’s severity level from the drop-down list (Major, Minor, Warning, or Event).
5.
Intrepid-HC HP/T provides five alarm outputs that can be used by other systems to sense Intrepid-HC HP/T
alarms. The outputs are configured on the right side of the window.
The alarm outputs are Form C Relays. Each output relay provides three pins, as follows:
Normally Open (NO)
Normally Closed (NC)
Common (C)
Output alarms can be defined as any of the following:
Major
Minor
Warning
External
Power
BER
Line
Loopback
