BER THRESHOLD

The preset BER threshold has been exceeded.

Setting of this alarm is done in the Configuration menu. This is an
alarm based on the corrected BER reading on the front panel.

MODULE

Demodulator module fault.

Typically indicates that the demodulator module is missing or will
not program. Ensure the demodulator card is present and
properly seated. If the card is properly seated, this could indicate
a problem in the M&C card, or in the interface between the
demodulator card and the M&C card. Return the defective card
for repair.

PROGRAMMING

Demodulator programming fault.

Indicates the demodulator module has failed to program a
current configuration parameter. If this fault occurs, contact
EFData Customer Support assistance.

CONFIGURATION

Demodulator configuration fault.

Indicates the demodulator module does not support a
programmed configuration parameter. This fault typically occurs
when the programmed configuration does not match the module
hardware. Verify the programming of the demodulator hardware
matches the configuration parameters.
