3.2.3 Automatic change over
Dual optical converter has an automatic change over module. This module has the possibility
to have an automatic change over on the input. This can be used in redundancy systems
where the user wants automatically switch to a backup port when the main input loses signal.
This function can be selected with DIP#10 and Dip#14. Each converter can be configured to
be main and backup input by DIP#5 or from GYDA.
3.2.3.1 Trigger condition
Loss of optical power trigs the automatic change over. When the main input lose optical
power the backup input is selected. When the backup input is active an alarm is displayed in
GYDA. When the main input optical power is restored the converter switches immediately
back to main input and alarm is restored.
Note that bit error or loss of lock on re-clocker does not trigger the automatic
change over.
