STS11/STS11L Solid-State Transfer Switch

Revision 0

Operation

MN-STS11-11

3-3

is non-revertive. That is, once a switch occurs, it requires a manual command
(either through the M&C or from the front panel) to return the prime unit on-line.
This will be the default operation, but the switching software is capable of
implementing revertive switching as well. Either modulator will be capable of
changing the state of the IF switch (assuming it is not faulted). This can be done
remotely or from the front panel. Remote control will occur through the standard
Ethernet M&C interface implementing SNMP. The switch connectors are listed
in Tables 3-1 and 3-2.

Each modulator has a 9-Pin D-Sub Connector for the switch. A 1:1 cable is
connected from each modulator to the switch. The pinout for the control
connector is listed in Table 3-3.
