ANY FAIL This error represents the number of PPM errors detected on the external 
synchronization source since the last PPM inquiry was sent to the 
Tone-Clock circuit pack. A failure of this test indicates that we are outside 
of Stratum 4 timing specifications on the external timing source. This error 
produces an invalid timing signal for any system that uses this source for a 
synchronization reference. The error code is a variable amount ranging 
from 1 to 254.
1. If there are errors against SYNC (Synchronization), refer to SYNC 
(Synchronization) Maintenance documentation to change the system 
synchronization reference, OR
2. If there are errors against STRAT-3 (Stratum 3 Clock), refer to the 
STRAT-3 (Stratum 3 Clock) Maintenance documentation to resolve the 
errors, OR
3. If there are errors against DS1-BD (DS1 Interface circuit pack), refer to 
the DS1-BD (DS1 Interface Circuit Pack) Maintenance documentation 
to resolve the errors, OR
4. If there are no other errors besides Error Type 1537 against TDM-CLK 
and if this error was logged against the Tone-Clock circuit pack that 
provided the current system synchronization reference (use the status 
synchronization command to determine this), replace the defective 
Tone-Clock circuit pack. 
!
WARNING:
Since service may be disrupted when the following procedures are 
carried out, try to perform the following steps when it is convenient 
for the customer.
5. If the Tone-Clock circuit pack under test is in the Active mode but is not 
providing the current system synchronization reference, switch the 
synchronization reference to the Tone-Clock circuit pack under test 
using the set synchronization PC command. Rerun the test. If the test 
still fails, replace the defective Tone-Clock circuit pack.
6. If the Tone-Clock circuit pack under test is in the Standby mode place it 
in the Active mode via the command set tone-clock PC. Switch the 
synchronization reference to the Tone-Clock circuit pack under test 
using the set synchronization PC command. Rerun the test. If the test 
still fails, replace the defective Tone-Clock circuit pack.
