FCnC

Fractional Carrier-in-Carrier is common in 1:1 or 1:N redundancy

systems where the primary modem is running fully operational (i.e.,

FAST-activated) CnC, and the backup modem(s) uses FAST-

activated Fractional CnC.

When Fractional CnC is enabled, the modem generates an internal

fault and logs an event every 12 hours. A fault causes the normally-

online modem to revert to online if all faults are cleared. This is used

to prevent a Fractional CnC modem from draining all its fractional

time if the normally-online full CnC modem is no longer faulted.

Masking this fault prevents the Fractional CnC unit from forcing a

12-hour fault.
