on the

 form is set to (n).
In the Standard Reliability PPN the Maintenance Processor (TN786B or TN790) in 
carrier (A) monitors the EXT-DEV alarm leads. In the High or Critical PPN, the 
Duplication Interface (TN772) circuit pack in carrier (A) monitors the EXT-DEV 
alarm leads, and provides status to the Maintenance processor (TN786B or 
TN790) in the active SPE. In the EPN the Maintenance Board (TN775) monitors 
the EXT-DEV alarm leads. The system only recognizes pairs connected to the 1M 
and 1m (ALARM MONITOR) leads. Pairs connected to the 2M, 2m, 3M, 3m, and 
3w are not recognized by the system. Refer to the 
DEFINITY Communications 
System Generic 1 and Generic 3i Wiring,
