Generic 3i Maintenance ci rcuit packs each hav e alarm leads which can be
connected to external devices such as Uninterrup tible Power Supplies (UPS) or
adjuncts such as AUDIX. Certain c onditions on the external de vice close the
contacts on the alarm lead s to notify the switch which in turn or iginates an
EXT-DEV ala rm.
The special locations UUmajor and UUminor are used to desig nate the major or
minor maintenance board alar m connection for cab inet UU. The major/minor
designation spec ifies the port, not the alarm level a ssociated with the
connection; for example, the “ major” port c an be administered as a major, minor,
or warning alarm, and the “ minor” port can b e administered as a major, minor or
warning alarm. In add ition Analog line ports can als o be administered as external
device alarms.
NOTE:
An unadministered maintenanc e board external devic e alarm port, that is
sensing a contact c losure will have an entry in the Error Log and in the
Alarm Log. INADS will not receive warning alarms.
The Processor monitors the EXT-DEV alarm leads. The system only recognizes
pairs connected to the 1M and 1m (ALARM MONITOR) leads. Refer to the

DEFINITY Communications System Generic 1 and Generic 3i Wiring,
