The ASE port on the processor card cannot be used as a management port. Do not
make any connections to this port.
The console port is a female data communications equipment (DCE), DB-25
receptacle used for connection to a console terminal or modem.
The auxiliary port is a female RJ-45 receptacle used for connection to a modem.
A three inch RJ-45 cable ships with the processor card for use with the auxiliary
port. This cable is necessary for proper use of the auxiliary port. Attach this cable
to the auxiliary port before attaching your own cables to it using the proper
coupler.
The processor generates three alarm signals: critical, major, and minor. (See
Table
1-8.) These signals from the alarm card generate visual and audible alarm
signals to the backplane. The alarm card is a separate card that mounts on the back
of the chassis to the backplane. The alarm card has relays and terminal blocks to
interface the system to the telco central office alarms. LEDs on the processor card
front panel display the status of the critical, major, and minor alarm signals, plus
the status of alarm cutoff (ACO) and history conditions.
Push button switches on the front panel provide for the alarm cutoff and history
clear functions. (See
Table
ASE
1-9.)
