ConÞguring Alarms, Modems and Security
To conÞgure the DSU/CSU to detect and report alarms, you use Menu-7 Alarms I. To
conÞgure it for external alarms, modem dial-out numbers and password security, you
use Menu-8 Alarms II.

When the DSU/CSU detects an alarm condition, it reports it to the device connected to
its Comm port or across the Facility Data Link. (The reports are compliant with AT&T

Alarms are based on the sources, shown in Table 3-12.
