2. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the Type Mismatch alarm is cleared.

NO: Replace the indicated object, then go to Step 4.
4. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the Type Mismatch alarm is cleared.
UAE
If Alarm is indicated for the Status , the Unavailable Second Event is detected.
Procedure 6-85
1. Check the Current Alarms, and if any other alarms occur(s), clear it/them.
2. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the UAE alarm is cleared. If the alarm

If Alarm is indicated for the Status , the registered slot is vacant. This condition is
caused by an inappropriate installation as well.
Procedure 6-86
1. Check the slot of the indicated Card/
2. Is the Card mounted in the indicated slot?

YES: Check if it is the appropriate Card for the slot, and/or if it is properly
mounted. If not, correct the mounting condition.
NO: Mount the appropriate Card to the slot.
3. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the Unequipped alarm is cleared.

NO: Replace the Card, and go to Step 5.
5. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the Unequipped alarm is cleared. If
Unlocked

If Alarm is indicated for the Status , the status of Wireless Synchronization at the
local side is unstable (clock is not locked).
Procedure 6-87
1. Check the equipment clock setting at both local and remote site, and adjust it/
them.

2. Retrieve the Current Status , and check if the Usage Error alarm is cleared. If
Usage Error
16E1 [16E1-A Card]

If Alarm is indicated for the Status , the E1 Port that is registered as Not Used
receives the signals. This condition is caused by the inappropriate cable installation
as well.
Procedure 6-88
1. Check the indicated E1 Port if it has a cable connection.
2. Launch the WebLCT, and check the usage of target E1 Port:

WebLCT Menu Path:
Provisioning E1/STM-1/Cross Connect Setting E1 Port Setting
Verify the usage of E1 Ports.
According to the E1 Ports usage, set the indicated E1 Port to Used , or
remove the cable from the indicated port to connect it to the appropriate port.
XIF

If Alarm is indicated for the Status , a failure is detected from the XIF Cable
connection between the Master XPIC and Slave MODEM-A Cards.
Procedure 6-89
1. Check if the XIP Cable is properly connected. If not, connect it properly.

6-91
XPIC Mode Mismatch
If Alarm is indicated for the Status , the XPIC Configuration is not properly enabled
by two MODEM-A Cards. The condition may be caused by inappropriate assignment
of Master and Slave.
Procedure 6-90
1. Launch WebLCT to display Easy Setup Wizard Easy Setup .
2. Correct the XPIC GRP Configuration .
