Minor Alarm Status LEDs
Minor Alarm Status LEDs
A minor alarm means that a non-service affecting condition exists, or that a condition exists affecting
service to few customer lines (2 to 23) or has the potential to affect traffic, or that a protection switch
occurred. Minor faults include:
l IDLC link failure (primary or secondary EOC/TMS fails) if backup is active
l IDLC link out of service because of loopback test
l Standby Controller card removed or failed
l Self-test failure (in redundant system)
l Power input -48V missing or too low
Alarm Cutoff (ACO) Status LED
The Alarm Cutoff feature permits the operator to temporarily silence the alarm outputs while testing and
repairing the Access Navigator. ACO does not stop DS1 alarm messages.
Pressing the ACO pushbutton switch disables the alarm relays and lights the ACO status LED. This
keeps the relay contacts open on the Alarm Output connector. If another alarm occurs, the alarm relays
will be enabled again and the ACO status LED will go off.
Alarm Cutoff disables the following signals on the Alarm Output connector:
l Critical alarm
l Major alarm
l Minor alarm
