Diagnostics of the synchronization module 
You can display the following channel-specific diagnostic data in the Module state tab dialog 
for the selected synchronization module: 
●  Overtemperature 
The synchronization module is too hot. 
●  Fiber-optic error 
The sender of the electro-optical component has reached the end of its service life.  
●  Violation of lower limit 
The sent or received optical performance is low or too low. 
●  Violation of upper limit 
The sent or received optical performance is high or too high. 
●  Functional error of the network component 
The quality of the redundancy link between the CPUs (transmission distance including 
synchronization modules and fiber-optic cables) is reduced so that transmission errors 
are occurring frequently. 
Fiber-optic interfaces of unused modules 
Fiber-optic interfaces of unused modules must be blanked off during storage to protect the 
optical equipment. The plugs are in the synchronization module when shipped. 
Wiring and inserting the synchronization module 
1.  Remove the dummy plug of the synchronization module. 
2.  Fold back the clip completely against the synchronization module. 
3.  Insert the synchronization module into the IF1 interface of the first fault-tolerant CPU until 
it snaps into place. 
4.  Insert the end of the fiber-optic cable into the synchronization module until it snaps into 
place.
