Label Description
External Alarm Input Summary
Input Id The alarm input identifier
Name The name of the alarm input
Type The type of input: digital, analog, or oper-state (for 
Ethernet ports)
Admin The administrative state of the alarm input
Value The current value of the alarm input:
• for a digital input — the state of the digital circuit 
associated with the trigger (open or closed). 
A value of open indicates that the external 
equipment has not shorted this digital input to one of 
the four common ground pins. If no external 
equipment is connected to a digital input on an 
Auxiliary Alarm card faceplate or External Alarm 
connector, all digital input ports read open. 
A value of closed indicates that the external 
equipment has shorted this digital input to one of the 
four common ground pins.
• for an analog input — the current voltage level of an 
analog trigger, in volts. If no external equipment is 
connected to the Auxiliary Alarm card faceplate or 
External Alarm connector, both analog inputs show 
no applied voltage (0.0V).
• for an Ethernet port — a value of down indicates an 
alarm event; a value of up indicates no alarm
Alarm State The current state of the alarm input:
ghost: no trigger equipment presently installed
ok: no triggers are detected
alarm detected: alarm is outstanding
not monitored: alarm or all triggers are administratively 
disabled
