LOSE TxFRM: Loss of Tx frame occurs in Drop & Insert operation,

 

Unit

 

Network

when the incoming T1 or E1 frame cannot be found by the modem.

 

 

BER >10E-3:This error rate monitor is enabled for IBS and IDR

 

 

framing.

 

 

LOSE TxMUL: Loss of Tx multiframe occurs in E1-CAS D&I operation,

 

 

when the multiframe marker for CAS signaling data cannot be found.

 

 

Tx Sig AIS: An AIS condition in the signaling positions of an incoming

 

 

E1-CAS frame is monitored.

 

 

TX TERR RM indicates the presence of the Tx terrestrial remote alarm

 

 

on the incoming T1 or E1 frame.

 

 

IBS RX REM indicates the presence of the IBS satellite remote alarm

 

 

(backward alarm) on the incoming IBS frame from the transmit side of

 

 

the link.

 

 

IDR RX BW1-4:Multi-destinational backward alarms are the

 

 

corresponding satellite alarms used by the IDR frame structure.

 

 

IDR TX BW1-4: Backward alarms 1-4 indicate that the hardware inputs

 

 

available on the back panel of the modem have triggered, resulting in

 

 

the corresponding Tx backward alarm being generated by the modem’s

 

 

IDR framer.

6.3.4.1MONITOR: STORED EVENTS

STORED EVENTS: CLEAR ALL: NO (NO,YES)

An example of a Stored Events screen is shown. Use the [↑] [↓] arrow keys to select Clear All: YES or NO, then press ENTER.

Use the [←][→] arrow keys to select the ‘#’ character on the bottom line to view the log entries. Scroll backwards or forwards through the entries in the event log, using the [↑] [↓] arrow keys. Pressing ENTER or CLEAR will take the user back to the previous menu. The event log can store up to 199 events. When a fault condition occurs, it is time- stamped and put into the log. Similarly, when the fault condition clears, this is also recorded.

If the user selects CLEAR ALL, the event log is cleared, and the user is taken directly back to the previous menu. However, if there are faults present on the unit at this time, they will be re-time-stamped, and new log entries will be generated.

Note that in accordance with international convention, the date is shown in DAY- MONTH-YEAR format.
