The RF shelf has two alarm/test ports. Both are DB-15 connectors located on the rear of the unit. 
One of these connectors is used for functional test at the time of manufacture and provides the 
alarm interface to the system. The other port provides diagnostics and monitoring of the RF shelf 
in an operational system. 

The pinout for the RF shelf alarm interface connector is shown below. At present only the major 
and minor alarm pins are externally connected to the system. These alarm points are monitored 
by the MC-Series System through a direct connection to the RF shelf's corresponding RBS group 
alarm inputs.
