1) Due to the 8 x 2 cable, only AL07 – AL7 alarm signals are connected.
Connector 5433649
Cable 12 x 2 7131864 1)
1) Due to the 12 x 2 cable, alarm signal AL0 – AL11 are connected. Version A02 cable is needed
when alarm signals AL6 – AL11 need to be chained. Only EXAU-A has the chaining feature.
The alarm output connector of EXAU-A is for chaining two or more EXAU-A units so that
alarms coming from the network element can be displayed on two or more EXAU-A units.
The tables below describe the connector pinouts for the following cases:
Displaying the same alarms on two EXAU-A units: chaining EXAU-A 1 to EXAU-A 2 with a
straight-through cable
Displaying alarms AL06 to AL11 on EXAU-A 2: chaining EXAU-A 1 to EXAU-A 2 with a
crossover cable
