CUST-ALM (Customer-Provided Alarming Device)
The system provides customers a way to c onnect their own alarm indic ation
device to a switch. The CUST-ALM maintenance ob ject represents this
customer-provided a larming device (CPAD).
The customer administers the level of alarm for which the CPAD will be activated
via the change system-parameter maintenance form (CPE Alarm Activation
Level field). The customer sets this field to: none, warning, minor, or major
depending on the le vel of alarm at which the CPAD should be activated. When an
alarm occurs of at least the level to which the CPAD is administered , the CPAD in
the PPN and the EPN will be activated. The CPAD will also be activated within a
cabinet whenever Emergency Transfer is invoked within that cabinet.
The CPAD is connected to the SYSAM in the PPN (in a duplicated SPE system,
the CPAD is connected to both SYSAMs), and to the EPN Maintenance circuit
pack in the EPN. The CUST-ALM maintenance object is not maintained by the
system, and will not generate any alarm s. If a problem is suspec ted with the
CPAD, it may be tested using the test customer-alarm c ommand, which will
acti vate t he de vice b y cl osing the r elay on eithe r the SYSA M or th e EPN
Maintenance circuit p ack (whichever is spec ified) for 1-minute. In a dup licated
SPE system the CPAD on the PPN is connected to the SYSAM on b oth c arri er A
and carrier B, and the test customer-alarm c ommand will close the relay on the
acti ve SYSAM. The rep eat p arame ter ma y be u sed t o clo se the relay for a l onge r
length of time where the number of the repeat is the number of minutes for which
the device will be ac tivated (5 minutes is the sugg ested repeat value).
