Introduction



Merlin red error messages are usually signal issues:
  • A power cycle may only resolve the issue temporarily

  • These often happen prior to an outage if one has not already been declared

Resolution Steps

 

  • Upstream is in alarm for outage
     
    • This means TAC has been alerted to a signal issue that could lead to an outage

       
  • Upstream channel width is downgraded because of an SNR problem
     
    • A member of TAC manually downgraded one of our ports to help temporarily fix a signal issue

       
  • Modem in Standby
     
  • AC Disconnected
     
    • The modem may be unplugged or not connected properly; check all the connections to the modem
