To configure dry contact sensors
Before you begin
You can enable dry contact sensors on the console port or alarm interface port of supported NEs. When an external alarm condition is present, the NE sends an alarm with a user-configured message to the NFM-P. See the NE documentation for more information about dry contact sensors.
