Alarms - Radyne DMD2401 Operation Manual

DMD2401/DMD2401L/DMD2401 IBS/IDR Satellite Modem
When the insert terrestrial frame source selection is set to External, the received satellite data will
be clocked out of the Doppler buffer based upon the clock recovered from the insert data input.
Therefore, the Buffer Clock selection will automatically be set to External and cannot be modified.
When the insert terrestrial frame source selection is set to Internal, the operator needs to specify
how data should be clocked out of the Doppler buffer. In this case, the operator will be able to
select either SCTE, SCT, or RX SAT as the source for the Buffer Clock. Therefore, the insert
terrestrial frame source selection should be made prior to attempting to change the Buffer Clock.
In most instances, the insert terrestrial frame source selection will be set to External and the
Buffer Clock will automatically be set to External.

3.10.5 Alarms

The following alarms are unique to Drop & Insert and vary based on the terrestrial framing:
Alarms
Modem Alarms
Active Alarms
Minor Tx
Drop Alarms
FrmLock – Indicates Terrestrial Frame lock on the Send Data Port.
MFrmLck – Indicates Terrestrial Multiframe lock on the Send Data Port.
CRCLock – Indicates valid CRC received via the Send Data Port.
SigData – Indicates valid signaling data received via the Send Data Port.
Minor Rx
Insert Alarms
FrmLock – Indicates Terrestrial Frame lock on the Receive Data Port.
MFrmLck – Indicates Terrestrial Multiframe lock on the Receive Data Port.
There are also additional Backward Alarms available in Drop & Insert Mode
Alarms
Modem Alarms
Backward Alarms
Prompt – This is the prompt maintenance alarm output by the modem
Service – This is the deferred service alarm output by the modem
TerBack – Indicates whether or not a terrestrial backward alarm is being received
SatBack – Indicates whether or not a satellite backward alarm is being received which
would be caused by the demod losing lock at the other end of the link
Force TerBck – Allows the operator to force the terrestrial backward alarm output to
On, Off, or Normal for testing purposes.
