4.3 Routing and Descrambling
Use the Routing and Descrambling menu to configure input redundancy on a multiplex input,
select physical input and output ports, redundancy triggers and input type.
Redundancy
Only one port is active while the other one is in standby mode, by default the Primary Input
port is active and the Backup Input port is on standby. The port on stand by does not pass
data. The Redundancy Triggers section is used to configure triggers that will switch to the
backup port. The default Redundancy Mode is Off.
To use Input Redundancy you must configure the Primary Input port and the Backup Input
port.
There are 5 modes:
■ Off
■ Manual – you can manually switch between the primary and the backup ports.
■ Manual Revert – the device switches from the primary port to the backup port when the
primary port fails on one of the redundancy triggers and the backup port has no active
alarms. You can revert from the backup port to the primary port manually using the Active
Input menu.
■ Automatic – the device switches to the standby port whenever the active port fails on one
of the redundancy triggers and the standby port has no active alarms.
■ Automatic Revert – the device switches from the primary port to the backup port when the
primary port fails on one of the redundancy triggers and the backup port has no active
alarms. The device reverts to the primary as soon as the primary port has no active alarms.
You must enable at least one redundancy trigger under the Redundancy Triggers menu.
To configure the Routing and Descrambling parameters:
❖ Navigate Root > Routing and Descrambling.
