Type

Message

Indicates

 

 

 

Major

Device Failure

A device/self test has failed. The probable cause is a modem hardware problem

 

 

or diagnostic memory failure.

 

 

 

 

Facility Fault

A severe data transport problem is occurring due to poor line conditions. No

 

 

signal or a very poor signal is being received.

 

 

 

 

Streaming DTE

The modem is in an antistreaming condition. The RTS input to the modem was

 

 

held ON for a period exceeding the time selected by the RTS Antistream

 

 

configuration option. (Refer to the DTE Interface section in Chapter 4 for a

 

 

description of the RTS Antistream configuration option.)

 

 

 

 

Access Security

A dial access security alarm is active. (Refer to the Security section of this table

 

 

for dial access security conditions.)

 

 

 

Minor

VF Threshold

One or more of the analog parameter thresholds have been exceeded. The

 

 

probable cause is poor line conditions or improper threshold settings.

 

 

Thresholds may be set through the DCP or NMS commands.

 

 

 

 

DTE Alarm

One or more of the DTE signals on one or more of the DTE ports are in alarm

 

 

mode. (Refer to the Port 1, 2, 3, 4 section of this table for DTE alarm

 

 

conditions.)

 

 

 

 

Rate Fallback

Due to poor line conditions, the modem's transmit rate is below the configured

 

 

rate. (Refer to the Leased Line and Dial Line sections in Chapter 4 for a

 

 

description of configuration options affecting rate.)
