include all of the required fields in the message. This message might
also appear if one of the required fields in the DHCP message
contains an invalid value. Reconfigure the DHCP server so that it
sends all of the required fields.

SYNC Timing
Synchronization
failure - Failed to
acquire FEC
framing
Critical
When attempting to lock on to the downstream channel your ZyXEL
Device could not acquire forward error correction (FEC) framing.
SYNC Timing
Synchronization
failure - Failed to
acquire MAC
framing
Critical
Your ZyXEL Device attempted to lock on to the downstream channel
and was able to acquire forward error correction (FEC) framing, but
then failed to lock on to media access control (MAC) framing. Note
that this is not an ethernet MAC frametype.
SYNC Timing
Synchronization
failure, Acquired
FEC framing -
Failed to acquire
MPEG2 Sync
Critical
Your ZyXEL Device attempted to lock on to the downstream channel
and was able to acquire forward error correction (FEC) framing, but
then failed to lock on to the MPEG2 synchronization signal.
SYNC Timing

failure - Failed to
acquire QAM/
QPSK symbol
timing
Critical
Your ZyXEL Device could not lock on to the downstream channel’s
quadrature amplitude modulation/quadrature phase shift keying
(QAM)/(QPSK) signal.

failure - Failed to
receive MAC
SYNC frame
within time-out
period
Critical
Your ZyXEL Device was able to acquire the media access control
(MAC) framing initially, but subsequently failed to receive the MAC
SYNC frame within the specified timeout period. Note that this is not
an ethernet MAC frame type.
