The signal monitoring and failover process is controlled and monitored
by the Broadlinx software that is executing on the NR-33000 Sync/NIC/
OPM board .
The system wiring discussed above must be described using the Broad-
linx “Paths” table. This table is part of the “Signals” group of tables.
Figure 105 shows an example system where ten protected paths have
been identified.
The “Primary” column is generated by the system and will automati-
cally show the maximum number of outputs that can be protected. This
example applies to a DV-33512 router, so the maximum number of pro-
tected paths is 256. However, the outputs from 129 to 160 are shown as
“Output N/A” because they are not being provided by an HO-33120
output board. Signal presence is indicated by a green output number;
loss of signal is indicated by a red output number.
The “Secondary” column is used to enter the corresponding secondary
output number for each protected pair.
If the Trinix is set for Encore control (rear panel switch set to “INT XPT
CNTL” = closed), these columns will automatically be shown as 1-
based. If the Trinix is set for Jupiter control (“INT XPT CNTL” = open),
these columns will automatically be shown as zero-based.
The “Status” column shows a green status flag when the primary path
is enabled. A yellow status flag indicates that an error has been
detected in the primary path and the secondary path has been selected.
A red status flag indicates that an error has been detected in both the
primary output signal and the secondary output signal.
A gray status flag indicates that the output has already been assigned
as part of a protected path.
