CUST-ALM (Customer-Provided
Alarming Device)
The system provides customers a way to connect their own alarm indication
device to a switch. The CUST-ALM maintenance object represents this
Customer-Provided Alarming Device (CPAD). When an alarm occurs at least to
the level to which the CPAD is administered, the CPAD in the Processor Port
Network (PPN) and in the Expansion Port Network (EPN) are activated. The
CPAD is administered by the Maintenance-Related System Parameters Form
(CPE Alarm Activation Level field). The CPAD is connected to the
Maintenance/Tape Processor in the PPN (in a High or Critical Reliability system,
the CPAD is connected to both Maintenance/Tape Processors) and to the EPN
Maintenance circuit pack in the EPN. The valid levels to which to set the CPE
Alarm Activation Level are:
none, warning, minor,
or
major.
The CPAD is also
activated within a cabinet whenever Emergency Transfer is invoked within that
cabinet. The CUST-ALM MO is not maintained by the system, and does not
generate any alarms. If a problem is suspected with the CPAD, it may be tested
using the test customer-alarm command, which activates the device by closing
the relay on either the Maintenance/Tape Processor or the EPN Maintenance
circuit pack (whichever is specified) for 1 minute. In a High or Critical Reliability
system, the CPAD on the PPN is connected to the Maintenance/Tape Processor
on both carrier A and carrier B, and the test customer-alarm command can
specify which Maintenance/Tape Processor should close its relay. The repeat
parameter may be used to close the relay for a longer length of time (5 minutes is
the suggested repeat value).
The CPAD is also activated within a cabinet whenever Emergency Transfer is
invoked within that cabinet. The CUST-ALM MO is not maintained by the system,
and does not generate any alarms. If a problem is suspected with the CPAD, it
may be tested using the test customer-alarm command, which activates the
device by closing the relay on either the Maintenance/Tape Processor or the EPN
Maintenance circuit pack (whichever is specified) for 1 minute. In a High or
Critical Reliability system, the CPAD on the PPN is connected to the
Maintenance/Tape Processor on both carrier A and carrier B, and the test
customer-alarm command can specify which Maintenance/Tape Processor
should close its relay. The repeat parameter may be used to close the relay for a
longer length of time (5 minutes is the suggested repeat value).
