NPort 5000 Series User Manual
DCD changed
A DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal change indicates that the modem connection status has changed. For
example, a DCD change to high indicates that the local modem and remote modem are connected. A DCD
signal change to low indicates that the connection line is down. When the DCD changes, the NPort will
immediately send an e-mail, send an SNMP trap, or trigger the relay output*.
DSR changed
A DSR (Data Set Ready) signal change indicates that the data communication equipment’s power is off. For
example, a DSR change to high indicates that the DCE is powered ON. A DSR signal changes to low
indicates that the DCE is powered off. When the DSR changes, the NPort will immediately send an e-mail,
send an SNMP trap, or trigger the relay output*.
*Relay output is only supported by the NPort IA5000/IA5000A series.
NOTE
Relay Output is only available for the NPort IA5000/IA5000A series. Users can connect to Monitor >
Relay Output from the web console to check which event is causing the warning. The relay output will be
canceled if the abnormal state is restored, or if Acknowledge Event is selected from the web or Telnet
console. When the Relay Output is issuing a warning, the Ready LED will flash red until the warning event
ceases.
