Making Alarm Connections
The NV8256-Plus provides system alarms that notify you of a malfunction, such as when a fan or
power supply is not functioning properly. Alarms can be connected to an external alarm indicator
that displays visual cues when an alarm is activated. The NV6257 (power supply) and the NV8256-
Plus each have alarm connections. Miranda does not provide external indicator equipment, but does
provide instructions on wiring the alarm connections. See
Both the NV6257 and the router send status information to the router control system. For more
information on the alarm connections, see

Alarm Indicator Equipment
An external alarm indicator can be created to display visual cues when a failure has occurred on the
NV6257 power supply or the NV8256-Plus router frame. LEDs can be wired to specific pins on a
DE9 or DB25 connector. Each LED indicates what specific router module has failed.
