| Health and Status Messages |
|
|
|
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.) |
