• If there are no other alarms, reboot the node (power-off, pause, power on). If the
alarm remains, replace the RAC.
• If there are other alarms which indicate a general loss of communications, an
NCC problem is indicated. Reboot the node, and if the alarms remain, replace
the NCC.
Additional Information
This alarm is only checked at power-on, reconfiguration, or software reload. Loss
of communications to the clock generator means its configuration cannot be
loaded.
Modulator Failure
No communications with the modulator. This is a critical alarm.
Probable Cause
Equipment malfunction.
Recommended Actions
Check Modulator Not Locked alarm.
• If alarmed, replace the RAC.
• If not alarmed, Detected Tx Power in the CT Performance screen is normal, and
there are no remote radio alarms, the failure may not be critical (traffic
affecting). Withdraw the RAC from its backplane, pause, and re-insert. If the
alarm persists, replace the RAC.

screen.
