MP48 supports four alarm types:
• Patch Panel Alarms: Alarm contacts wired
directly to the Alarms section of the patch panel.
16 patch panel alarm inputs are available.
• RS-232 Alarms: Alarm contacts routed to an
RS-232 port on the patch panel via an AD2096A
Alarm Interface Unit. 512 RS-232 alarm inputs
are available.
• Dome Alarms: Alarm contacts routed from AD
domes to the RS-422 or SensorNet connectors
on the MegaPower 48 patch panel. Up to 192
dome alarm inputs (48 domes x 4 contacts) are
available.
• Video Loss Alarms: Alarms triggered by the
loss of the sync signal for any video input
connected to the MegaPower 48 patch panel.
48 video loss alarm inputs are available.
Note: If video loss detection is enabled for any
video input, video output 16 will not be available for
video switching.
Once the specific alarm type is selected, individual
alarm contacts can be associated with alarm
messages, video inputs, alarm monitors, and paging
numbers for text message transmission. Each
monitor can be armed for unique alarm display and
clearance methods. The following illustrates the
Patch Panel Setup menu; however, RS-232, Dome,
and Video Loss setup menus include the same
settings.
