Alcatel-Lucent 3AL36162AAAB Alarm Interface Card

The Alcatel-Lucent 3AL36162AAAB Alarm Interface Card is an Alarm Interface Access Module for 1600-Series equipment that provides a dedicated alarm signaling path between the chassis and monitoring systems. Also cataloged as the 1641 Alarm Interface Card, this module appears in distributor listings under multiple part-number variants such as 3AL36162AAAB01 and AB01, confirming its role as a compatibility-replacement part across Alcatel-Lucent legacy platforms. Designed to plug into compatible Alcatel-Lucent backplanes within the 1600-Series line, the card integrates with the system's alarm management topology to ensure alerts from the hardware are reported to OSS/BSS tooling or network operation centers. This makes it a practical spare or replacement for technicians maintaining legacy service-access networks and metro-edge deployments that rely on formal alarm signaling chains, without introducing new functionality beyond the intended alarm-interface role.
