1-1Chapter 1 Overview 1.1 Introduction Description This chapter introduces the components of an alarm system and the functions of the alarm box that can prompt alarms by sounds or lights or forward them to appropriate personnel through short messages. Contents Topic Section Alarm System Components 1-1 Alarm Box 1-2 Technical Specifications 1-4 1.2 Alarm System Components Description The alarm system enables users to learn the faults occurring to devices at any time. If a device is faulty or runs improperly, it sends alarm information to the alarm server that not only presents current or history alarms but also forwards alarms to the alarm box in real time. The alarm box generates sounds or lights to prompt the received alarms of different severities and forwards alarm information to pre-set mobile phone number if necessary. Components The alarm system consists of two components, namely the alarm server (generally it is an OMC server) and the alarm box, as shown in Figure 1.2-1.
Alarm Box User Manual 1-2TCP/IP告警服务器告警箱内置的手机模块RS232自定义接口告警箱电信设备 Figure 1.2-1 Alarm System  The alarm server allows users to determine the severities of alarms to be forwarded to the alarm box as well as the mobile phone number to which the alarm box sends alarm short messages.  The alarm server transfers alarm messages to the alarm box through TCP/IP. The mobile phone module of the alarm box sends alarms to the specified mobile number through short messages.  Alarms are not only presented on the LCD screen of the alarm box but also prompted by the alarm indicator, alarm server indicator, and sounds. 1.3 Alarm Box Functions Description The alarm box is connected with an alarm server through HUB or a layer-2 switch. The alarm box presents different severities of alarm data sent from the server in various ways, for example, on the LCD screen, through indicators, and by generating sounds. Functions  Alarm short message sending: The alarm server can be configured to interact with the in-built mobile phone module of the alarm box, enabling the alarm box to send alarm short messages to the specified mobile number of a maintainer. The alarm box sends alarm short messages based on the severities to CDMA or GSM subscribers (however, CDMA and GSM cannot be supported simultaneously).  Sound prompt: The in-built speaker produces voice or buzzer alarms to
Chapter 1 Overview 1-3prompt the received alarms and the alarm severities.  Alarm indicator: The four alarm severities are represented by different colors, namely yellow, orange, blue, and red (listed from high to low).  Alarm server indicator: The alarm box panel provides 10 alarm server indicators representing 10 group of alarm servers (generally it is recommended that one indicator represent one server). Each indicator shows the link status and the alarm status for a specific group of server servers.  LCD display: The alarm information sent from the alarm server is displayed on the LCD screen of the alarm box. Moreover, the alarm box menu and keys on the panel are available to configure the working parameters, for example, the IP address, UDP port, key tone control, and backlight control.  Remote deployment: An alarm server can be connected to both local and remote alarm boxes. In the case of remote alarm boxes, routing information should be configured in the alarm box. Remote deployment allows more flexible usages of alarm boxes. For example, the alarm box can be deployed in the office rather than in the equipment room.  Multi-office-in-one: Up to 128 alarm servers can be configured on an alarm box, and up to 10 groups of alarm servers can be simultaneously connected to an alarm box. The alarm servers may reside in different network segments, and therefore the multi-office-in-one function is employed together with the remote access function.  Cross-VLAN alarming: The alarm box can be simultaneously connected to alarm servers from different VLANs. In this scenario, a layer-2 switch rather than a layer-3 device is deployed to achieve VLAN isolation, reducing the networking cost.  Broadcast storm detection and alarming: Thresholds can be configured to detect the network status and avoid network congestion caused by data broadcasting.  Group-based alarm acknowledgement: Alarms can be acknowledged on a per-group basis as alarm servers can be classified into groups, and
Alarm Box User Manual 1-4each group of alarm servers is represented by an alarm server indicator.  Alarm statistics query: The alarm box can show the statistics of alarms reported by each alarm server on the LCD screen.  Permanent mute: Alarm prompts can be muted based on the alarm severity.  Remote access: The alarm box supports Telnet-based remote access. Users can telnet the alarm box to configure relevant parameters by using man-machine commands. The alarm box supports the configurations concerning alarm servers, routing, VLAN, short message transfer, system time, and so on. 1.4 Technical Specifications Dimensions: 323mm×220mm×58mm (LxWxD) Power supply: -48 V DC or 90 V - 264 V AC (an power adapter is required for AC power) Power: 40W Interface: one RJ-45 network interface Environmental temperature: 0 ℃- 45℃

6-1Chapter 6 Alarm Box Networking Scenarios 6.1 Introduction Description This chapter introduces the networking scenarios of the alarm box, including the remote deployment, multi-office-in-one, and cross-VLAN alarming. An alarm box can be simultaneously connected to more than on alarm server, and vice versa. The alarm box and the alarm server can reside in the same network segment or different ones. Moreover, an alarm box can be connected to alarm servers from different VLANs. Contents Topic Section Remote Deployment Networking 6.2 Multi-Office-in-One 6.3 Cross-VLAN Networking 6.4 6.2 Remote Deployment Networking Scenario Purpose In remote deployment, the alarm box and the alarm server reside in different network segments. Remote deployment enables an alarm server to connect to not only local alarm boxes (the server and alarm boxes reside in the same network segment) but also remote ones. In the case of a remote alarm box, routing information needs to be configured on the alarm box. For example, the alarm server 193.232.54.129 resides in the 193.232.54.* segment. The remote alarm box resides in the 192.168.60.* segment. Both segments are connected to each other through Router, as shown in Figure 6.2-1.
