Alarm Port Pinouts
The router has four alarm inputs. The alarm setting is open or closed.
• Open means that the normal condition has current flowing through the contact (referred to as
normally closed contact). The alarm is generated when the current stops.
• Closed means that no current flows through the contact (referred to as normally open contact). The
alarm is generated when the current flows.
The alarm input is a dry-contact alarm port. You can connect up to four alarm inputs from devices, such
as a door, a temperature gauge, or a fire alarm, to the alarm port. You can use the alarm-contact
command to set the alarm severity to minor, major, or critical. An alarm generates a system message.
Note External DC bias is not required for the alarm port inputs.
Figure B-6 shows the RJ-45 connector pinouts used for alarm, and Table B-9 lists the connector pinouts
and signals.
