4.1.3.8.1 Modulator
Faults
IF SYNTHESIZER
Modulator IF synthesizer fault.
DATA CLOCK SYN
Transmit clock synthesizer fault. Indicates the internal Voltage
Controlled Oscillator (VCO) has not locked to the incoming data
clock.
I CHANNEL
I channel data activity fault.
Q CHANNEL
Q channel data activity fault.
MODEM REF PLL
MODEM REF PLL not locked.
MODULE
Modulator module fault. Typically indicates that the modulator
module is missing or will not program.
4.1.3.8.2 Demodulator
Faults
CARRIER DETECT
Carrier detect fault. Indicates the decoder is not locked.
IF SYNTHESIZER
Demodulator IF synthesizer fault. Indicates the IF synthesizer is not
locked.
I CHANNEL
I channel activity fault. Indicates a loss of activity in the I channel
of the quadrature demodulator.
Q CHANNEL
Q channel activity fault. Indicates a loss of activity in the Q channel
of the quadrature demodulator.
BER THRESHOLD
Secondary alarm result of the BER threshold set in the DEMOD
Configuration menu.
MODULE
Demodulator/decoder module fault. Typically indicates that the
demod/decoder module is missing or will not program.
4.1.3.8.3
Transmit Interface Faults
TX DATA/AIS
Data or AIS. When data fault is selected in the Interface
Configuration menu, the fault indicates a data stable condition. This
indicates the data is all 1s or 0s (i.e., data is not transitioning). When
AIS is selected, the alarm indicates the data is all 1s from customer
data input to the modem. When None is selected in the Interface
Configuration menu, the TX Data/AIS Fault/Alarm is not activated.
Note: AIS is an alarm, not a switching fault.
TX CLK PLL
Transmitter phase-locked loop fault. Indicates the transmitter
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is not locked.
TX CLK ACTIVITY
Activity detector alarm of the selected interface transmit clock. The
interface will fall back to the internal clock when this alarm is active.
CONFIGURATION
TX interface configuration fault.
Indicates the TX interface cannot execute a programmed
configuration parameter.
