Avaya 03-300430 User Manual

CAB-CALM provides control of a relay contact between a pair of leads from the TN2312BP IPSI 
that can be wired to an external alarming device that is provided by the customer (CPAD). A 
contact closure is provided between the leads when the alarm exceeds the level specified in the 
CPE Alarm Activation Level field on the change system-parameters maintenance screen. 
CAB-CALM is not associated with any background or demand tests that are used to clear 
alarms. CAB-CALM becomes active when any other MO reaches a predetermined level (none, 
warning, minor, or major) and generates an alarm. Clear the MO that is generating the alarm to 
retire the contact closure across the CPAD relay contact. 
If you think that there is a problem with the CPAD, you can test it by executing the test 
customer-alarm command that activates the device closing the relay on the TN2312BP IPSI 

for one minute. You can specify the repeat parameter to close the relay contact for a longer 
time. The number of repeats that you specify is the number of minutes the external device is 
activated. 

The test customer-alarm location (short|long) r# command causes the TN2312BP 

IPSI to:

●

Close the CPAD relay contact for one minute 

●

Return to the state determined by the active alarm level specified by the CPE Alarm 
Activation Level field on the change system-parameters maintenance screen 

The CPAD test closes the relay that activates the CPAD for one minute. If more than one minute 
is necessary to verify the CPAD activation, you can change the repeat number on test 
customer-alarm location to close the relay for up to 99 minutes. For example, specifying 
r99 repeats for 99 minutes.
