The Alarm button is not a fixed feature and can be assigned to any available
button on an analog or MLX DLC.

DLC. On a system with fewer than 29 lines, the Alarm button is factory-assigned
to analog DLCs with 34 or more buttons. On a system with more than 29 lines,
Line 30 is assigned to the button that would have been the Alarm button.
An operator at an MLX DLC can use the Inspect feature to display the number of
alarms; an analog DLC operator cannot use Inspect.
