If a failure is detected in such a monitoring process (step 203), the failure detection unit 30 transmits the failure information (disability content / disability location / disability level) to the failure output unit 40 (step 204), and the failure output unit. 40 sends it back to the fault output device 20 (e.g., the maintenance terminal). Accordingly, the fault output device 20 finally outputs fault information (step 205).

At this time, if there is an alarm box, an alarm buzzer, and an alarm panel, which are fault additional equipments, the fault information is transmitted to the additional equipment and output.

In the conventional fault occurrence alarm system as described above, when a failure occurs in the exchange system, the maintenance manager changes the exchange only in a limited area in which a fault information output device such as an alarm box, an alarm buzzer, or an alarm panel, which is a maintenance terminal or an additional device is installed. Was able to recognize information on disability (disability content / disability location / disability level) and to take action accordingly.

That is, when a maintenance manager performs work outside a restricted area where a failure information output device is installed, or when a single person performs maintenance management, the maintenance manager may recognize a failure that occurred in the exchanger system in the absence. I could not.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and by displaying a failure occurring in the switching system on a display device of a specific telephone, a failure of the telephone switching system that enables a maintenance person to easily identify a failure state occurring in the system. It is an object of the present invention to provide an alarm device and a method thereof.
