The Nokia 7705 Service Aggregation Router (SAR) Auxiliary Alarm Card provides high-density input alarm and output alarm relay capabilities to the 7705 SAR. This integrated unit eliminates the need for a separate device for alarm management. With remote configuring and monitoring using the ?5620 SAM and/or a general SNMP-based management system, a powerful, resilient and cost-efficient ?alarm and monitoring capability is possible.
