No Clock

Clock activity from the Tx terrestrial source is checked, if expected. If
absent, the modem falls back to the internal SCT clock to drive the
modulator.

FIFO Slip

A

larm occurs when the terrestrial clock source differs from the

programmed data rate, or may indicate a hardware failure.

Tx AIS

Alarm Indication Signal (all 1’s) present at the Tx terrestrial input is
monitored.

AUPC Level

If AUPC is enabled, a Tx alarm occurs if the power increase limit has
been reached.

Hi-Stab Freq Ref

MONITOR: STORED-EVENTS

STORED EVENTS: CLEAR ALL: NO (NO,YES)
#199 FT-FRAME SYNC 23/07/01 16:25:24

An example of a Stored Events screen is shown here.
Use the [

][] arrow keys to select the ‘#’ character on the bottom line, then use the [][]

arrow keys to scroll up and down through the event log entries. Press [ENT] or [CLR] to return
to the previous menu.
The event log can store up to 199 events. When a fault condition occurs, it is time- & date-
stamped and put into the log. Similarly, when the fault condition clears, this is also recorded.
Use the [

][] arrow keys to select

Clear All, then use the [

][] arrow keys to change to Yes

or No. Press [ENT] when done. If Clear All=Yes is selected, the event log is cleared and the user
is returned directly to the previous menu. However, if there already are faults present on the unit
at this time, they will be re-time-stamped, and new log entries will be generated.
Note that, in accordance with international convention, the date is shown in DAY-MONTH-
YEAR
format.
