The ALARM LED indicates the presence, or absence, of an unread system 
alarm(s). Unread system alarms can be read using the LCD and five-function 
keypad. The possible states and descriptions of the ALARM LED are listed in 
Table 3-5.
 
Out-of-Band Management
 
Out-of-band management refers to managing the system via a Local Management 
(LM) connection or an SNMP-based management application which does not use 
the same network connection to the chassis as “user data.” 
The 9C300-1 Environmental Module provides four out-of-band management 
interfaces for managing the MMAC-Plus system. These interfaces are listed 
below:
Two serial communication ports, COM1 and COM2
One standard Cabletron EPIM interface
Liquid Crystal Display (4 lines by 40 characters) and an associated five button 
keypad
