The system provides customers a way to connect their own alarm indication
device to a switch. The CUST-ALM maintenance object represents this
customer-provided alarming device (CPAD).
device to a switch. The CUST-ALM maintenance object represents this
customer-provided alarming 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 level 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.

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 alarms. If a problem is suspected with the
CPAD, it may be tested using the test customer-alarm command, which will
activate the device by closing the relay on either the SYSAM or the EPN
Maintenance circuit pack (whichever is specified) for 1-minute. In a duplicated
SPE system the CPAD on the PPN is connected to the SYSAM on both carrier A
and carrier B, and the test customer-alarm command will close the relay on the
active SYSAM. The repeat parameter may be used to close the relay for a longer
length of time where the number of the repeat is the number of minutes for which
the device will be activated (5 minutes is the suggested repeat value).

and Error Codes
and Error Codes
The test customer-alarm UUC command is provided to allow a technician to
check that the customer-provided alarming device is correctly installed and
functional. It is recommended that this test be run at least once after both the
switch and the customer alarm have been installed.
