Alarm vs. Alert
In the most precise usage, an alarm is an off-normal condition indi-
cating a performance or equipment degradation or failure. An alert
is an indication of a change from a normal to an alarm condition or
vice versa. However, the term “alarm” is often used where “alert”
would be more accurate. For example, “alarm dialout” actually oc-
curs on changes from alarm to normal as well as from normal to
alarm.
Alternate Mark Inversion (AMI)
AMI is a form of line coding for T1 spans that requires consecutive
pulses (ONES) to alternate between positive and negative.
ANSI T1.403 (T1E1):
