Follow the steps below for both the Local and Remote sides:
4.8.1. Setting External Alarm Inputs
The microcontroller in the IDU reads the alarm inputs (dry contact) and
transmits them over the management channel to the GiganetView
management system. This allows the FibeAir 1500 system to report external
alarms not related to itself. For each alarm:
1. Click on the box next to the alarm number to enable/disable. Alarms that
are enabled are indicated by a filled box (n); disabled alarms are
indicated by (o).
2. Enter a description of the alarm.
3. Select the alarm’s severity (Major, Minor, Warning or Event).
