Reporting External Lead Changes to NMS
Changing either the output leads or the input leads
changes the DSU's health and status message.
If the DSU is polled by the 6700 Series NMS, the
NMS reports a change configuration notification (CCN)
event. The NMS operator can then issue a CCN Display
command to determine what caused the event.
If the CCN event was caused by a change in the
external leads, select Displ (F1) to see the current
states of the leads.
If a positive (+) voltage is detected in either one of
the input leads, an external leads alarm is also
reported.

Messages Branch

The Messages (Msgs) branch of the top-level menu
allows the DSU to receive messages from the NMS. It
only appears when there is a message waiting. Both
control and tributary DSUs can receive messages.
