2.8 Connecting External Alarms
The OMC supports many alarms from the Micro BTS. The external alarms are
reflected at the OMC operator station, and may be used for site alarms, such as
open door, temperature and battery back-up alarms. These customer defined
alarms are sampled every two minutes by default and will report an alarm when
sent by the Micro BTS alarm controller.
Using the details provided in these sections, make your connections for external
alarm inputs.
The OMC operator can set the alarm text as described in the UltraVIEW OMC
Setup and System Administration Guide.
Identifying the Terminal Block
The alarms are processed on the alarm interface module located on the rear of the
Micro subrack assembly. The alarm interface module has connections for
incoming signals from external alarms and the power supplies and an outgoing
connection to the ICP processor card through a USB type cable. The interfaces are
shown in Figure 2-27.
If you are replacing an existing system which has external alarms
connected directly to the processor card, you may connect your
existing RJ-45 alarm cable directly into the ICP processor card
alarm connector. Optionally, you can re-route your existing
alarms to the UltraWAVE alarm terminal block or add additional
external alarms.
