Alarms

To display or print alarm messages, you can attach the DSU/CSU, either locally or remotely, to an ASCII terminal or printer. Alarms can also be displayed on a PC that is using a terminal emulation package.

You can route these alarms to the COM port or dial them out using an external device.

Each alarm message contains a customer identification to indicate which remote DSU/CSU is reporting an alarm. For information about customer identification, refer to Setting Customer Identification in Chapter 4, Configuration.

Possible alarm messages are as follows:

HContinuous Loss Of Signal detected at the x Interface
