2. the connection between the Stratum 3 clock and the TN780 
Tone-Clock circuit pack may be faulty, or
3. the TN780 Tone-Clock circuit pack may be defective.
A Minor alarm results if the Stratum 3 clock can still provide timing to the 
PBX; otherwise, a Major alarm is raised because the Stratum 3 clock is not 
providing timing and the PBX is referencing the local oscillator on the 
TN780 Tone-Clock circuit pack. If only the Active TN780 Tone-Clock 
circuit pack were faulty, the Standby TN780 Tone-Clock circuit pack 
would become active and still synchronize to the Stratum 3 clock. When 
the system switches to the Standby Tone-Clock circuit pack, the alarm is 
resolved, and it raises a TDM-CLK (TDM Bus Clock) alarm to indicate that 
the TN780 Tone-Clock circuit pack may be defective.
If the alarm is minor:
Look for a red LED on either or both TOC cards. If there is a red 
LED, then replace the card. If there is no red LED, then, using the 
Stratum 3 Wiring Guide
, check that the wiring installation is correct. 
After replacing the card or correctly rewiring the installation, clear 
the alarm by first issuing the disable synchronization-switch 
command followed by the enable synchronization-switch 
command. Wait two minutes and then execute the status 
synchronization command. If Maintenance Name on the status 
screen shows "STRAT-3," then the problem is resolved. If not, then 
escalate the problem.
If the alarm is major:
Check connections between the Stratum 3 clock and the PBX. If 
there are no loose connections, using the 
Stratum 3 Wiring Guide
, 
check that the wiring installation is correct. After reconnecting the 
loose connection or correctly rewiring it, clear the alarm by first 
issuing the disable synchronization-switch command followed by 
the enable synchronization-switch command. Wait one minute, 
and then execute the status synchronization command. If 
Maintenance Name on the status screen shows "STRAT-3," then the 
problem is resolved. If not, then escalate the problem.
If the Standby Tone-Clock circuit pack become active:
Check connection between the Stratum 3 clock and the TN780 
Tone-Clock circuit pack from which the system has just switched. If 
there are no loose connections, then, replace the TN780 
Tone-Clock circuit pack. Refer to the "How to Replace a Tone-Clock 
Circuit Pack" section in the TDM-CLK (TDM Bus Clock) 
Maintenance documentation. Before switching back to the new 
TN780 Tone-Clock circuit pack, use the test tone-clock PC long 
command to check that the Tone-Clock is receiving a signal from 
the Stratum 3 clock. The notation "PC" denotes a port network 
number and carrier. If all tests pass, switch to the new Tone-Clock 
circuit pack via the set tone-clock PC override command. If Test 
#651 fails, then the original TN780 Tone-Clock should be
