TXD_FLT

Transmit Data Fault. This configuration
function is used to select a Transmit Interface
fault monitor of AIS, Data, or none. When AIS
(Alarm Indication Signal) is selected the
TX_INTF (Transmit Interface) fault “Data/AIS”
is monitoring a fault condition of all 1’s from
customer data input to the modem. When
Data_Flt is selected, the TX_INTF fault
“Data/AIS” is monitoring a fault condition of all
1’s or all 0’s. This is referred to as a data
stable condition which means that the data is
not transitioning. When None is selected, the
TX_INTF fault “Data/AIS” is not activated.

being monitored is displayed with the flashing
cursor on the first character. Use the arrow
keys to select Data, AIS, or None. Press the
“ENTER” key to execute the change.
