T1/E1 DACS Administrators’ Reference Guide

 

 

Introduction

The DACS has an extensive alarm reporting system which enables users to configure, monitor, and test major and minor alarms. The alarm system can be set to notify of equipment failures (for example, a power supply failure) or T1/E1 port malfunctions. There are 83 alarms that can be configured by the system administrator to generate alerts based on the condition of the DACS.
