Configuring Alarms
After the AIC and NOC IP addresses have been configured, you can the configure alarms by
programming the AIC’s discrete and analog contact points. These tasks can be performed on-site or by
Telneting as described in the “Accessing the AIC” section on page 3-40.
Alarms are configured using either TL1 or AIC CLI. Information about TL1 commands can be found in
the Telcordia Technology (formerly Bellcore) document Network Maintenance: Network Element and
Transport Surveillance Messages, GR-833-CORE, Issue 5, November 1996. For a reference of
security-related commands (ACT-USER and CANC-USER) refer to Telcordia Technology’s Operations
Applications Messages-Network Element and Network System Security Admin Messages,
TR-NWT-000835, Issue 2, January 1993. The following TL1 messages and commands are supported by
the AIC:
• TL1 Messages

Programming the Analog Contact Points
Alarm points 57 through 64 are analog inputs, which are configurable as discrete inputs. When
configured as an analog input, the user must select whether the point is monitoring voltage or current.
The user must also define five ranges by selecting four values for a point monitoring voltage or six ranges
for a point monitoring current. For current-monitoring points, the lowest and highest values define the
