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.

Figure 6-7. Config | Redundancy page
The ‘Config | Redundancy’ page (Figure 6-7) is used to control the operational parameters for
redundant operations. The active Redundancy Mode is identified on this page as 1:1, 1:2, or
OFF, and the appearance of the page itself varies depending on its Operating Mode.
