ODU Replacement Chapter 12
WinLink 1000 User Manual Release 1.9.40 12-10
2. Run the Configuration manager on the secondary link, and in the Hot Standby panel
of Figure 12-4 above, check the Disabled button.
3. Replace the Site 1.2 IDU without connecting it to the ODU (to prevent transmission
by the primary link with the undefined IDU).
4. Reconnect the MHS cable between the IDUs at Site 1.2.
5. Again, run the Configuration Wizard on the secondary link, and in the panel of
Figure 12-4 above, check the Secondary button to re-enable the link as secondary.
6. Connect the new Site 1.2 IDU to its ODU.
The Hot Standby will automatically revert to the primary link within 50ms.
ODU Replacement
Both the primary and secondary replacement ODUs require pre-configuration prior to inser-
tion into the link. The items to be pre-configured are
• HSS mode
• Link ID
• Frequency
• Hot Standby mode – using the new Services panel in Figure 12-4 above
• IP address (optional)
To pre-configure an ODU:
1. Attach the new ODU to an IDU or a PoE device.
2. Run the RADWIN Manager and use Hot Standby tab of Figure 12-4 above to config-
ure the new ODU to Primary or Secondary mode as required.
3. Ensure that it is set to the proper HSS mode in accordance with Figure 12-4 above.
Enter the required Link ID and frequency.
To replace an ODU for primary or secondary link, at either site:
• Install the pre-configured ODU. (Since the other link is working normally, nothing
need be done with it. If the secondary ODU was replaced, TDM service remains as is
on the primary link. If the primary ODU was replaced, then the TDM service will shift
back to the primary link.)
Switching Logic
Switching from Primary Link to Secondary Link
Switching from primary link to secondary link will occur following:
• Loss of the primary air interface due to sync loss
Note
Pre-configuration must be carried out before the new ODU is
connected to its IDU. If you try to do it “live” against its IDU, it will
cause spurious transmissions and a service break.
