Step 3 Complete the “DLP-D431 Discontinue Alarm Suppression” task on page 21-16 to discontinue alarm
suppression and resume normal alarm reporting.

NTP-D247 Provision External Alarms and Controls on the Alarm
Interface Controller–International
Note For information about the AIC-I external alarms and controls, virtual wire, and orderwire, refer to the
Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Reference Manual.
Step 1 Verify the alarm contact wiring using the following substeps. See the “NTP-D223 Attach Wires to
Alarm, Timing, LAN, and Craft Pin Connections” procedure on page 1-15 for information about the
ONS 15454 SDH contacts.
a. For external alarms, verify that the external device relays are wired to the ENVIR ALARMS IN
connector pins.
b. For external controls, verify the external device relays are wired to the ENVIR ALARMS OUT
connector pins.
Step 2 Complete the “DLP-D60 Log into CTC” task on page 17-49. If you are already logged in, continue with
Step 3.
Step 3 In the node view, double-click the AIC-I card shelf graphic. The card view appears.
Step 4 Click the Provisioning > Card tabs.
Step 5 In the Input/Output area, click one of the following options:
• External Alarm—Select External Alarm if you use external alarms only. Selecting External Alarm
gives you 20 external alarm ports.
• External Control—Select External Control if you use both external alarms and external controls.
If you select External Control, four of the ports are converted to external control ports, leaving you
with 16 external alarm ports.
Purpose This procedure creates external (environmental) alarms and external
controls on the AIC or AIC-I card.
Tools/Equipment An AIC-I card must be installed in Slot 9.
