Echo 2 Mbps Multiplexer

 

SALES: 0118 965 5100 

Timeslot Mismatch 

 

The configuration in the local unit 

does not match

 that in the remote unit.  This 

would almost certainly lead to data errors on some channels. 

 

D&I Carrier Loss 

 

The Multiplexer cannot identify a valid synchronisation sequence (FAS, CRC4 etc) 
from the unit attached to the D&I port. 

 

D&I Remote Alarm 

 

The unit attached to the D&I port is generating an 

alarm

 in the framing information, 

that is, it is reporting that it has a problem. 

 

Nx64 Control Off 

 

One of the channel ports (which is in use) is not providing the multiplexer with a 

true

 

CONTROL signal.  This may mean that the signals have not been connected at all.  
Note that un-connected CONTROL inputs will produce a 

random

  ON  or  OFF 

indication.  Control inputs from ports which are not allocated in the timeslot map are 
ignored. 

 

Nx64 Clock Fail 

 

One of the data channel cannot synchronise its clock to the global network clock.  
This may occur if a channel is set to 

external

 clock, and either no clock at all is 

connected, or the clock which is connected is the wrong rate. 

 

Remote Alarm 

 
 

Shows FAULT if a remote Alarm is being received from the remote multiplexer. 

 

Remote alarms are generated by any condition set at the remote site to give a MAJOR 
alarm.  If you want a particular alarm to be reported through the remote alarm bit, you 
must set its 

Action

 field to either MAJOR or MINOR.N Any alarm which is set to 

MAJOR or MINOR will cause a remote alarm to be sent through the link.
