NOTE  
Danger of damage to property due to surge voltage. The required lightning protection measures must be taken for this board, see Section 2.1.2 "Lightning Protection".  

Introduction  
In the event that HiPath 3550 or HiPath 3350 experience a voltage drop, voltage dip or unrecoverable system errors, a trunk failure transfer (ALUM) is activated (MSI only).
The module implements a power failure transfer for four analog telephones. The only kind of telephone that can be used is an analog telephone. The signaling method of the connected telephones should be the same as that on the trunk line, otherwise signaling will not be possible.
When the system is deactivated or if an error occurs, the trunk lines are connected directly to the telephones. When normal operation is resumed, the transfer represented in the figure below takes place.

The cable that is plugged in by default is split and is connected to the TLA and to the 4/8/16SLA board.
