facilities on the switch. The link notifies remote service personnel about an AUDIX
problem.
Alarm Log A list of faults, including unit and device numbers, that is stored in a software file on
disk. The maintenance : active alarm : display form shows alarm
log faults in severity order. Use the maintenance : active alarm :
specification form to select alarms by device, date, and so forth.
