IMPORTANT
Comtech EF Data’s KPA family of SSPAs are designed to automatically sense
and configure into Redundancy Mode when the redundant loop cable is
connected between the two (i.e., 1:1) or three (i.e., 1:2) KPAs comprising the
redundant subsystem.
The designation of each KPA in a redundant subsystem is determined
automatically via the redundancy interface cable connected – polling on the
dedicated redundancy bus will not begin until the redundancy loop cable is
connected.
This display indicates the current operating mode – Standalone or Redundancy. When the KPA
is operating in Standalone mode – that is, no additional KPAs are recognized as active – the
display appears as follows:
Redundancy Mode: OFF
(E)
With the KPA in Standalone mode, the nested menus that follow will not be visible/selectable. Press
ENTER or CLEAR to return to the previous menu.
Otherwise, when a valid redundancy configuration is detected, a read-only display will first appear:
If 1:1 Redundancy is recognized:
Redundancy Mode: ON
SSPA #BU 1:1 (E)
If 1:2 Redundancy is recognized:
Redundancy Mode: ON
SSPA #BU 1:2 Pri=1 (E)
Press ENTER to continue to configure 1:1 or 1:2 redundant operations, or press CLEAR to return to
the previous menu.
If 1:1 Redundancy is recognized:
Config: Auto/Manual Mode
Backup Mode
