Redundancy Controller Auto/Manual

The Operating mode of the Comtech EF Data Redundant Switch Unit (RSU-
5060) can be set via a command to the ONLINE CSAT. The RSU-5060
initializes to the AUTO mode when power is first applied.

• In AUTO mode the RSU-5060 monitors the state of the two CSATs

and will automatically switch the OFFLINE unit online if the ONLINE
unit faults.


• In MANUAL mode, the RSU-5060 will only switch the position of the

Tx and Rx transfer switches when commanded to do so via either the
RTG= command or via Pin V on the ‘M&C Control’ connector (J5) on
the RSU-5060. The user sets AUTO mode by sending a ‘1’ in the data
field and MANUAL mode with a ‘0’ in the data field.

Associated Remote Command(s):

RAM=

Example(s): RAM=1

• If the RSU-5060 is in AUTO mode, the command will only cause a

switchover if the OFFLINE unit is currently UNFAULTED.


• If the RSU-5060 is in MANUAL mode, the command will cause a

switchover independent of the state of the OFFLINE unit.
