The following is an NCM Alarm Display:

Figure 2-9 NCM Alarm Display

The display indicates date and time for each alarm. The shelf and
slot of the module reporting the alarm is shown in brackets

[01,02]

Whenever the NCM detects a card for the first time, an alarm is
reported,

Near-End Plug Present Alarm.

This does not indicate a

problem.

Command

Function

Alarm Monitoring. Toggles on/off the display of alarm

messages in the Craft interface screen. If ON, messages appear

on the Craft interface terminal as alarms occur and again as

they clear.

Relay Inhibit. Allows the user to enable, disable, or temporarily

block the action of the alarm relays. Values range from 0 to

256. Selecting zero enables immediate alarm relay activation.

Values from one to 255 block alarm relay operation for an

equal number of minutes. Selecting 256 disables the alarm

relays. This might be used in a large network to avoid tripping

alarm relays when a specific circuit is scheduled for an outage,

or to block alarm relay operation on pending or non-critical

facilities.

Display Alarm Buffer. Presents a history of alarm messages to

the Craft interface. See the example in

Table 2-9

Clear Alarm Buffer. Removes all alarm messages from the

display buffer referenced above. User is not asked to confirm

this selection.

Exit. Exits to the NCM Main Menu.
