Latched Alarm

The front panel "ALM", "BPV", "CRC" and "SYNC" LEDs can display both
current and latched error conditions.
For example, if the "ALM" LED is on, and "SYNC" LED blinks twice, it indicates
that there are two "T1/E1 sync loss" after the last alarm reset.
To reset the alarm, press and hold the "R2" ("Reset Too") button for 3 seconds until
the "ALM", "BPV", "CRC", and "SYNC" LEDs are flashing. The alarm will reset
after the "R2" button is released.
