Message: ‘Tributary Unit:System Clock Fail’,
This alarm is usually associated with the following messages.
‘2MBS Lost’, ‘Frame Alignment Lost’, ‘AIS’.
Source: 2Mbit/s connection to the CT modem shelf is not made.
Fault Condition: AS4000 has to use its internal clock, if the 2Mbit/s connection is
broken to the exchange all calls will be dropped.
Likely Cause: a. Wrong Tx/Rx connection.
b. Broken 2Mbit/s cable.
c. Exchange Problem
Consequential Effect: (a). All active calls will be dropped.
(b). Call in progress LEDs on the CT modem card will be off
irrespective of the call state.

poor BER messages from the CT Modems when the system
changes over.
