unit outputs the notification message (as described in
‘Element ID’ below) and then disconnects.

Edit Element ID: This field allows the user to enter a 29-

character ASCII string which identifies the unit to the

device receiving the alarm notification messages.

Remote Link: When the PRISM unit is used with the termi-
nal interface or the EM8000 element manager, a communi-
cation link to the far end unit can be selected. The facility
data link (FDL) may be used in cases where the T1 path is
not routed through equipment that corrupts the FDL. If the
network framing mode is set to D4 or the FDL is not avail-
able, a spare channel may be assigned. Possible channel
selections are those that have not been assigned for use with
a high speed port or passed through to the T1 DTE. The
choices are ‘
