8.10 System Alarm Reporting

Occasionally, the DSU II Digital Expandable Systems system will fail to communicate with a particular station; it could be that the station has been disconnected from its station port or that the system printer is off line. When the system experiences these disruptions, an alarm signal will display at your station or any LCD speakerphone when designated by the installer. In order to review the system alarms, the attendant can command the system to present alarm codes on the station display. When this feature is provided, a flashing * appears on the first line of your telephone’s LCD to indicate that new alarms are present.

• To display alarm codes,

1.DIAL AND HOLD * for five sec- onds. The following status reports will be displayed:

•Station disconnected from station port for more than five

minutes. Month, day, station port number, and station extension number are shown.

Display shows: “Mo/Da Pxx

xxxxA”

•Communications difficulty between a station and the common equipment. The number of parity errors, up to 256, and the affected station port are shown.

Display shows: “xxx PARITY Pxx”
