Narrative:
We were on the approach to 18L at cvg. I think we were at 3;000 feet (until established); cleared for the ILS 18L approach. So; after baire; I elected to descend to 2;400 feet as per the approach plate. Cvg tower said they got a low altitude alert and asked if we were okay. Although we were below the glideslope; we were above the 2;400 stepdown to fraze. ATC made no further mention of the matter.
