*Channel 0 Status

Bit 0 = modulator failure flag (0 = no failure, 1 = failure)
Bit 1 = demodulator failure flag (0 = no failure, 1 = failure)
Bit 2 = switch communication in process (0 = no communication in
process, 1 = communication in process)
Bit 3 = modem communication fault (0 = no failure, 1 = failure)
Bit 4 = modulator present (0= not present, 1= present)
Bit 5 = demodulator present (0= not present, 1= present)

<1>

*Backed up Modulator 0 = This channel not a backup channel, or this channel is a backup

channel but currently not backing up a mod, 1-9 = This channel
currently backing up a mod, channel number as indicated.

0 = This channel not a backup channel, or this channel is a backup

*Module 0 Alarms 2
Status

Bit 0 = Mod learned (0 = Mod is not learned, 1 = Mod is learned)
Bit 1 = Demod learned (0 = Demod is not learned, 1 = Demod is
learned)
Bit 2 = Mod configuration changed (0 = Mod configuration has not
changed, 1 = Mod configuration is changed)
Bit 3 = Demod configuration changed (0 = Demod configuration has not
changed, 1 = Demod configuration is changed)
Bits 4 through 7 = Spares

*Module 0 Alarms 3
Status

Bits 0 and 1 = Mod backup 1 test status (0 = No Mod backup 1 test
performed, 1 = Mod backup 1 test pass, 2 = Mod backup 1 test fail)
Bits 2 and 3 = Demod backup 1 test status (0 = No Demod backup 1
test performed, 1 = Demod backup 1 test pass, 2 = Demod backup 1
test fail)
Bits 4 and 5 = Mod backup 2 test status (0 = No Mod backup 2 test
performed, 1 = Mod backup 2 test pass, 2 = Mod backup 2 test fail)
Bits 6 and 7 = Demod backup 2 test status (0 = No Demod backup 2
test performed, 1 = Demod backup 2 test pass, 2 = Demod backup 2
test fail)
