ALARMS
To Read and Report an Alarm
l
Press and hold down ALARM
The bell stops, the lamp stops flashing but remains lit, and the display
shows the alarm number and message. For example, you might see:
A 11 0017 NO TRUNK SEIZE ACK. 03/01
.
This message tells maintenance personnel that alarm number 11 has
occurred: trunk equipment number 17 (in slot 03, circuit 1) is busied
out.
Note: You do not need to know the real meaning of the alarm
message. However, you might be asked to record exactly what
you see on the display, in the case that your system is not
hooked up to a printer.
l
If required, note the complete message displayed
l
Release ALARM
The message disappears but the red alarm lamp remains steadily lit
until the fault is corrected. The date is displayed, unless the system
has busied-out any part of the equipment, in which case “BUSY OUT”
is displayed until the piece of equipment is returned to service.
l
Telephone the alarm message
to your communications department or maintenance personnel.
Note: If your system has a printer attached, it can be used to obtain a
printed record of the alarm messages. See PRINTER
CONTROL/ALARM RECORDS for more details.
