An operator at an MLX DLC can use the Inspect feature to display the number of
alarms; an analog DLC operator cannot use Inspect.
On a system with fewer than 29 lines, an Alarm button is factory-assigned to
analog DLCs with 34 or more buttons. On a system with more than 29 lines,
Alarm is replaced with line 30.
The Alarm button is not a fixed feature and can be assigned to any available
button on an analog or MLX DLC.
