Office alarm test

Description

This test verifies proper operation and wiring of the office alarms.

Audible and visual reporting of critical, major, minor alarms will be verified.

Prerequisite

The following is a list of items to verify before beginning tests in this section.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX Main OLIUs should be optically looped from the

•

previous section. Verify that the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX shelf is clear of all alarms

(only green LEDs are lighted) prior to and after completing this test.

The office alarm cable will be temporarily connected during this procedure.

•

"Office alarm connections" (p. 7-3)

It is a requirement that alarms on the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMX do not affect and are

•

not affected by other equipment via office alarm connections. During this test, the

alarm state of other equipment connected to the same office alarms as the Alcatel-

Lucent 1665 DMX should be examined after creating or clearing every alarm.

WARNING

Laser hazard

NOTICE

Laser Safety

When connecting fiber loops between the IN and OUT ports on optical circuit

packs, always connect to the IN port first and then the OUT port. This will

prevent any optical radiation from being present at the fiber end.

NOTICE

The operational tests in this section are run only in an out-of-service mode of

operation. Office alarms will normally be connected only during the office
