Note The Cisco XR 12406 Router must be populated with two alarm cards, to meet
EMI standards.
Alarm Output Function
The alarm output function consists of a group of relays, LEDs, and their
associated drivers connected to an output port on the MBus m odule.
The alarm output function is controlled by the software on the route processor.
When a signal is received from the route processor, the MBus module on the alarm
card activates specific relays to signal an alarm condition. There are three alarm
condition severity levels: critical, major, and minor. The critical, major, and minor
LEDs are paired for redundancy to protect against a si ngle failed LED.
Note Alarm cards for some Cisco XR 12000 series router have both audible an d visible
alarm indicators. The alarm card for the CiscoXR 12406 Router provides only
visible alarm indicators as local alerts to unusual conditions in the router.
