The Cisco Alarm Interface Controller, model number 15454E-AIC-I=, is a specialised network monitoring device designed to enhance the functionality of Cisco telecommunications gear. This device is commonly used within Optical Transport Network (OTN) environments to manage and report critical system alarms. It significantly improves the ability of network operators to monitor a system’s health and respond promptly to potential issues.
The 15454E-AIC-I= provides robust alarm management features for enhanced network control. It integrates with Cisco's 15454 series Multiservice Transport Platform (MSTP) systems. One of the key features of this unit is the inclusion of eight external alarm inputs and four external alarm outputs. These inputs and outputs allow for efficient communication between the controller and other network components, ensuring that alarms are properly generated and transmitted.
In terms of physical attributes, the 15454E-AIC-I= is designed for seamless integration into network racks, with standard rack mounting support making it easy to install alongside other equipment. It has a compact form factor, making it suitable for use in both large-scale telecoms facilities and smaller setups. Additionally, it supports a variety of network configurations and works with advanced protocols to ensure network continuity and effective alarm processing.
This device’s primary role is to monitor WAN and OTN systems through the generation, transmission, and reception of alarms, allowing for proactive management of issues that could otherwise lead to service degradation or failure. Furthermore, the built-in remote management functionality allows for easier oversight from distant locations, adding to the operational flexibility of the network.
