reporting an external device alarm. If you are entering a specific port, it must already be administered as an external device alarm port on a maintenance or an analog line port carrier board.
1. Since the “maintenance board” alarm connections connect to control carrier boards that are in unnumbered
slots, the standard port format ca nnot be used to designate these al arm connections. The special por ts Pmajor
and Pminor are used designate the major or minor maintenance board alarm connection for cabinet P. The
major/minor designation s pecifies the pair of wires,

not

the alarm level associated with the connection (the
“major” port can be ad ministered as a major, m inor or warning alarm and the “minor” port can be administered
as a major, minor or warning alarm).
2. If no alarms are registered against the maintenance object then the test sequence is run only once. The

long

clear
option forces a clear of all alarms if no erro rs are encountered duri ng testing. The
short clear
option only
clears alarms pertinent to tests in the short sequ ence.
3. Refer to the Report Schedu ler and System Printer feature sp ecification for more details.
