1X SCt4812ET Lite BTS Optimization/ATP
PRELIMINARY
Alarm Verification
The alarms testing should be performed at a convenient point in the
optimization/ATP process, since the LMF is necessary to ensure that the
SC4812ET Lite is generating the appropriate alarms.
The SC 4812ET Lite is capable of concurrently monitoring 10 customer
defined input signals and four customer defined outputs, which interface
to the 50–pair punchblock. All alarms are defaulted to “Not Equipped”
during ATP testing. Testing of these inputs is achieved by triggering the
alarms and monitoring the LMF for state–transition messages from the
active MGLI2.

after the window is displayed. To access the Alarm Monitor window,
select Util > Alarm Monitor.
The following buttons are included.
S The Options button allows for a severity level (Warning, Minor,
