FUNCTION SELECT: FAULTS/ALARMS: TX INTERFACE
TX INTERFACE
---+----
TX DROP
Drop interface hardware fault. Typically indicates that the drop interface
PLL is not locked (D&I only).
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.
TX AUDIO 1 CLIP
IDR TX audio for channel 1 is clipped.
TX AUDIO 2 CLIP
IDR TX audio for channel 2 is clipped.
CONFIGURATION
TX interface configuration fault.
Indicates the TX interface cannot execute a programmed configuration
parameter.
