ATLAS 550 System Manual - Adtran

Section 5 DLP-15 ATLAS 550 System Manual
Perform the following steps below in the order listed:
1. Connect to the ATLAS 550 using either the ETHERNET, ADMIN, or CRAFT interfaces.
If you are not already connected to the unit’s ADMIN or CRAFT interface, either with a VT100
compatible terminal or with a PC running VT100 emulation software, use the procedure in DLP-2,
Logging in to the ATLAS 550, to connect to the ADMIN or CRAFT interface.
Alternatively, if the unit is part of a management cluster connected to the local network, you may use a
PC connected to the network to Telnet into the unit. To connect to the ETHERNET interface, use the
procedures in DLP-3, Setting IP Parameters for the ATLAS 550, and in DLP-4, Verifying
Communications Over an IP LAN.
2. Log in to the unit using the read-write password (see DLP-2, Logging in to the ATLAS 550, for details).
Configuring the Alarm Relay
1. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and press the right-arrow key to access the right-pane menus. Select
the ALARM RELAY THRESHOLD menu and choose the appropriate threshold level. The ALARM RELAY
will set for this threshold and all other alarms of greater importance. Refer to Section 7, System Event
Logging of this user manual for a listing of all alarms and levels of importance.
Setting the threshold to NORMAL will not set the ALARM RELAY for NORMAL events. No
NORMAL events set the ALARM RELAY.
(Optional) Configuring the Alarm Monitor for External Alarms
1. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and press the right-arrow key to access the right-pane menus. Then,
select the EVENT LOGGING menu and press . Once in the EVENT LOGGING menu, press the
right-arrow key to access the right-pane menus.
2. From the EVENT LOGGING menu, select the EXTERNAL INPUT menu and set it to the same value as the
ALARM RELAY THRESHOLD. Any event on the ALARM MONITOR will now be logged in the EVENT LOG and
set the ALARM RELAY.
Clearing the Alarm Relay Remotely
1. Go to the SYSTEM CONFIG menu and press the right-arrow key to access the right-pane menus. Then,
select the ALARM RELAY RESET field and press .
