External Alarm Relay Monitor Connection
This connection alerts the user when a selected external alarm condition exists. This connection could be
used to monitor a UPS with dry contacts or another ATLAS 550. The 2-pin, removable terminal block
connects with external wiring. Refer to DLP-014, Connecting the Alarm Contacts for detailed instructions.
Clear the alarm condition by pressing the ACO switch located on the front panel of the ATLAS 550.
Table 8 shows the pinout for the External Alarm Relay connector.
5. NETWORK INTERFACE MODULES
The ATLAS 550 provides two Network Interface Slots that allow different types of interfaces to be used.
The following is a discussion of the available Network Interface Modules.
T1/PRI Network Interface Module (P/N 1200307L1)
The T1/PRI Network Interface (NI) Module provides a single T1/PRI port and complies with the applica-
ble ANSI and AT&T® standards. The T1/PRI Network Interface Module provides the following functions:
AMI or B8ZS coding
Manual line build-out
D4 or ESF framing
Network performance monitoring and reporting
Test loopbacks with QRSS generation and checking
Extensive self-testing
The network connections follow, with the pinouts shown in Table 9 below and Table 10 on page 33.
