Fault/Alarm
Possible Problem and Action
BUFFER CLK PLL
Buffer clock phase-locked loop fault. The buffer synthesizer is the wrong
frequency or will not lock.
Ensure the selected buffer clock source is at the proper frequency and level.
If the fault continues, contact the Comtech EF Data Customer Support
Department.
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
Demultiplexer synchronization lock fault. This fault means that the
demultiplexer is unable to maintain valid frame and multiframe alignment.
The usual cause is invalid or absent receive data. This is a major (prompt)
alarm. The alarm will cause insertion of receive AIS (all 1s) and the
switch-over will be attempted. This fault is to be sent as a backward alarm to
the distant end. This fault will occur when no carrier is present, but will
probably never occur with a correct signal.
RX 2047 LOCK
RX 2047 lock alarm.
Indicates the RX 2047 data test pattern is not being received by the decoder.
The alarm probably indicates the transmitter is not set correctly.
BUFFER FULL
Buffer full alarm.
Indicates the buffer is < 10% or > 90% full.
RX INSERT
Insert interface hardware fault (D&I only).
The typical cause of this fault is the insert phase-locked loop is not locked, or
some other insert interface hardware has malfunctioned. Contact the
Comtech EF Data Customer Support Department.
