• A subordinate space diversity link operates independently of the ring operation.
Specifically, a wrapped ring link does not inhibit normal 1+1 operation of the
space diversity link.

• Normal space diversity online Tx and/or Rx switching remains enabled when
the ring is wrapped.
• A silent transmitter switch

is initiated when both far-end receivers are in
path-fail alarm, and the link has been wrapped for not less than 5 seconds.
• If the link failure is due to a path fade, the silent transmitter command from
the far-end(s) will not be received at the local end(s), meaning no Tx switch
will occur.
• If the link failure is due to a Tx failure, the silent transmitter command from
the far end will initiate a switch to the standby Tx at the local end (the
secondary RAC is the default standby Tx).

A ring wrap occurs when the path provided by the space diversity link fails, or a
Tx or Rx online switch event occurs on the space diversity link, or both space
diversity receivers trigger a demodulator not locked alarm.

A silent transmitter switch is designed to prevent an undetected transmit failure from causing a link to go
down indefinitely.
