1.2 Description
The switch (Figure 1-1) is composed of three units:
•
Switch Control Unit (SCU) — User interface for switch and modem control
and configuration.
•
Data Switch Unit (DSU) — As commanded by the SCU, performs terrestrial
data configuration and backup modem data switching.
•
IF Switch (IFU) — As commanded by the SCU, performs backup modem IF
switching.
This 3-chassis arrangement gives the user control of the switch from the one unit (1U)
rack mounted SCU front panel. The DSU and IFU, which contain all terrestrial and link
interfaces, are mounted inside the rack to minimize rack and external interface cabling.
These units will accommodate the particulars of external interface requirements. They
can be separated or joined together and mounted either in the rear or on the top of the
rack.
