The TDM / AMR Range Mismatch alarm indicate

a mismatch between the local side and the
opposite side AMR setting.
It can be due to one of the following reasons:
1. AMR range is not the same. (e.g. One side
AMR Range is QPSK to 256 QAM, other side
16QAM to 256 QAM.)
2. E1 mapping of each side is not the same.

Current TX and RX modulation status can also be

monitored from the Current Metering screen
