Programing Code:
MLX Display Label:
Two alarms are available to provide either a visible or audible indication when
the system detects a problem that can degrade service and, therefore, requires
immediate attention:
Alarm button. A programmed button on direct-line-consoles (DLCs) and
queued call consoles (QCCs), that alerts the system operator to problems
detected by the system software. The red LED next to the Alarm button on
the system operator console goes on when the system detects a problem
that requires immediate attention. The red LED remains on until the problem
is corrected.
Maintenance Alarm alert. An alert device (such as a bell or strobe)
connected to a line/trunk jack designated through system programming as a
Maintenance Alarm port. The device rings or lights when the system detects
a problem that requires immediate attention.
Note: An alarm should be reported immediately to the system manager.
An Alarm button is used only on system operator consoles and cannot be
programmed on any other telephone.
An Alarm button is assigned as a fixed feature on a QCC.
A digital DLC system operator or a QCC system operator can use Inspect to
display the number of alarms; an analog DLC system operator cannot use the
Inspect feature.
The Alarm can be activated only at a programmed button; feature codes
cannot be used for Alarm.
The red LED next to the alarm goes on and/or the Maintenance Alarm
sounds or flashes as soon as the system detects a problem.
All system operator consoles with an Alarm button receive the indication.
