Feature Connector Description
3.2.1.1 IF Switch Control Connector, DB-25M
Use the DB-25M IF Switch Control connector on the CRS-23 0 for
direct connection to the corresponding cabling connector on the
CRS-280 or CRS-350 switches, when used. This connector supplies
power to these switches, provides the logic interface to drive the
active modem, and decides whether the system is in bridged or backup mode. The CRS-280/350
performs the same bridging and backing up functions of the Tx and Rx IF signals identically to how
the CRS-300 processes the terrestrial data signals.
3.2.1.2 485 Pass-Through Connector, DB-9F
Use the DB-9F 485 Pass-Through connector on the CRS-230 only with
CDM-Qx/QxL modems. It is provided for 2-Wire EIA-485 serial remote
monitor and control of the modems.
