blade, locking and unlocking the blade and locking and unlocking the BR. For these
reasons, only if the blade continues to generate these faults under normal operating
circumstances is an alarm generated.
The RadioBlade transceiver faults are listed in Table 5.9.
Table 5.9 Faults by the Transceiver
If a RadioBlade transceiver generates enough errors such that it crosses the Bounce
and Duration threshold for that particular error, an alarm will be generated. This
alarm will also cause the RadioBlade Locking Policy to lock that RadioBlade
transceiver. Table 5.10 lists the fault count and fault period for an alarm to be
generated.
