6.3.3.1

MONITOR: Alarms

IMPORTANT NOTE – The CDM/R-570ALuses a system of Fault Prioritization, where the
modem will display only the highest priority fault in a designated category. This cuts
down significantly on unwanted and irrelevant fault reporting.
For example, if the demodulator is unlocked, then it is irrelevant if there are other
Rx faults present. However, if the demodulator then locks while a lower-priority
fault is present, then the modem will display that fault. This also applies for faults
reported via remote control.
For CDM/R-570ALunits with ODUs, see Chapter 10. CDM-570A/570AL ODU
(TRANSCEIVER, BUC, LNB) M&C OPERATIONS for details on selecting this submenu
and the listing of prioritized ODU faults.
