Alarm-Related LEDs
Table 5: Alarm-Related LEDs on page 30 shows alarm-related LEDs on the faceplate of the
G700 or on an attendant console, and shows how certain LEDs reflect specific alarm situations.
Alarm Content
Alarms logged by Communication Manager are stored in an alarm log. All alarms include a date
and time stamp that reflects the date and time of the sending device. The alarm contains:
● Device type
● Component type
● Device name
● Current ip address
● Additional information necessary for identification of alarm origination
● Severity level to indicate the priority of the alarm
Alarms originating in a specific media server, such as an S8300, have a prefix denoting that of
an S8300.
Table 5: Alarm-Related LEDs
LED Location Alarm-Related Cause
ALARM LED Attendant Console The system alarm causes the attendant console ALARM
LED to light.
ACK LED Attendant Console The ACK LED on the attendant console reflects the state
of acknowledgement of the alarm report from INADS.

RED ALM or
ALARM LED
LED Panel of G700
Media Gateway
The RED ALM or ALARM LED indicates the "health" of
the G700 by lighting when there are impaired functions
of the Media Gateway Processor, Layer 2 Switching
Processor, or VOIP engine. It lights, for example, when
the power supply voltage is out of bounds, if the G700
cannot locate a Media Servers, or when the unit is
overheating. It also indicates when the system is in
Power-up mode, or when a Media Module is resetting.
