RX INTERFACE

---------------

BUFFER UNDERFLOW

Buffer underflow alarm. Indicates that a buffer underflow has occurred.

BUFFER OVERFLOW

Buffer overflow alarm. Indicates that a buffer overflow has occurred.

RX DATA/AIS

Data or AIS. When data fault is selected in the Configuration Interface menu the
fault indicates a data stable condition. This indicates the data coming from the
satellite is all 1s or 0s (i.e., data is not transitioning). When AIS is selected, the
Alarm indicates the data is all 1s from the satellite. When None is selected in the
Configuration Interface menu, the RX Data/AIS Fault/Alarm is not activated.

BACKWARD ALARM

Backward alarms.

BUFFER CLK PLL

BUFFER CLK ACT

Activity detector alarm of the selected interface receive clock. The interface will fall
back to the satellite clock when this fault is active.

DEMUX LOCK

DEMUX lock fault. Indicates that the DEMUX is not locked. (Overhead Card only.)
