(a) The message, ALRM, displays prior to any alarm message.
(b) Only these alarms assert the System Alarm bus on pin H of the card edge connector, if the alarm system is set to ENABLE.
(c) When the HDSL2 loop loses sync word (LOSW), a system alarm condition exists. The H2TU-C enters the acquiring mode,
the front panel status LED flashes red, and the ACQ or SIG message displays instead of the ALRM message.

Alarm Option for the Digital Loop Carrier Feed

To improve HiGain HDSL2 compatibility with the switch-to-protect features used in the Digital Loop Carrier
(DLC) feeder applications, the H2TU-C has an Alarm Pattern (ALMP) option that allows you to select either an
AIS or LOS DS1 output payload for the following alarms:
• LOSW on any loop
• LOS DS1

Retiring System Alarms

To retire a system alarm, press the LBK pushbutton and execute an Alarm Cutoff (ACO). An ACO turns the alarm
off and replaces the ALRM message with an ACO message. The second part of the ALRM message, which defines
the cause of the alarm, remains. Both parts of the message remain until the alarm condition clears or another higher
priority alarm occurs.
