Introduction
The T-DAC provides alarm facilities that monitor the operating status of the T-DAC’s power supply, 3096RC
G.SHDSL and T1/E1 ports, 3196RC iDSL and T1/E1 ports, and 2616RC T1/E1 ports, and ambient temper-
ature. The T-DAC provides three alarm signaling methods to indicate that an alarm condition has
been detected:
• Visual indication—via the T-DAC front panel ALARM status LED and rear blade ALARM status
LED indicators
• Operator console indication—via the T-DAC management windows
• External alarms management host indication—delivered via SNMP traps or Syslog messages that the T-
DAC can send to an external alarms management host
By default, all T-DAC alarms are set to display as major (orange) events, but you can use the Alarm Systems
management windows to customize them, assigning a higher or lower level of severity to each item as desired.
Your choices are critical (red), major (orange), minor (yellow), informational (blue), or ignore (no color).

force the T-DAC to generate alarms for testing purposes as well as clear
selected alarms.
