Select Alarms, Rx-Params, Event-Log, Stats, AUPC, CnC or ODU using the

The modem uses a system of Fault Prioritization. In each category of fault,

only the highest priority fault is displayed. For instance, if the demodulator is

unlocked, it is irrelevant if there are other receive faults present. If the

demodulator then locks, but there is a fault of a lower priority present, this will

then be displayed. This also holds true for the faults reported via the remote

control. This system cuts down drastically on unwanted and irrelevant fault

reporting. A comprehensive list of faults is shown at the end of this section.

Select Transmit, Receive, or Unit using the WXarrow keys, then press ENT. Depending

on the choice , one of the following menus will be shown:

(MonitorAlarmsUnit) – UNIT ALARMS

The screen will indicate if there are any Unit Faults. If not, it will display ‘None’.

Pressing ENT takes the user back to the previous menu.
