FCD-IPM has an alarm history memory that holds the up to 100 alarms.

Management Using Dedicated Time Slot (DTS)

FCD-IPM features out-of-band management through a dedicated time slot.

The DTS is a management channel that connects directly to the FCD-IPM host using a separate IP interface, i.e. address, and operates as an additional WAN interface connected to the management IP network.

This management channel is totally separated from the IP traffic that the integrated router forwards, so there is no way to expose the manager IP network to unauthorized IP users.

The DTS channel should be synchronized with other equipment such as a cross connect unit or router. This can be done with standard WAN protocols such as Frame Relay and PPP.
