Cisco ONS 15327 Product Overview
Alarm Collection and Display
to the alarm collection point. To activate the ACO function, press the ACO button
on the XTC card faceplate. The ACO button clears all audible alarm indications.
The alarm is still active in CTC and needs to be cleared.
With the XTC card-level view in CTC, you can also suppress alarms for a specific
DS-1 or DS-3 port. Using CTC you can also suppress alarms for specific Optical
and Ethernet ports.
User-Provisionable External Alarms and Controls
In addition to the standard alarms, the ONS 15327 provides user-provisionable
alarms and controls. You can provision up to six external alarm inputs and two
external controls. Use external alarms for open doors, temperature sensors, flood
sensors, and other environmental conditions. For each alarm you can specify type,
severity, and a description. Use external controls, or office alarms, to drive visual
or audible devices such as bells and lights. The alarm-triggering conditions for the
external controls can be user-defined external input alarms, remote alarms, or
severity-based alarms (for example, alarms that trigger when any Major alarm
happens).
Figure 20 shows a diagram of the input and output process for external alarms and
controls.
