1.2.1 Operation with CDM-625 / 840 / 750 / 570L / 700 / 710 / 710G Modems
The CRS170A is configured with two modems to form a complete 1:1 redundant modem

forbothmodemstodeterminewhichmodemshouldbeOnlineandOffline.Thecontrolcables
betweenthemodemsandtheCRS170Aincludefoursignalgroups:
First, serial fullduplex communication lines are routed from one modem to the other
modem via the CRS170A. Using these lines, this Online modem can interrogate the
Offline modem at regular intervals to determine its configuration. If a difference in
configurationisdetected,theOnlinemodemwillreconfiguretheOfflinemodemsothat
the configurations are always synchronized. This process is entirely automatic if the
Offlinemodemisreplaced,itdoesnothavetobemanuallyreprogrammedtomatchthe
Onlinemodem.
Second, the Unit, Tx and Rx faults signals from both modems are routed to the
CRS170A. This allows the redundancy controller to always know the health status of
bothmodems.
Third, the online/offline signals are routed from the CRS170A to each modem. Based
onthemodemfaults,theCRS170AwilldeterminewhichmodemshouldbeOnlineand
Offline. In the event that both modems indicate faults through some malfunction, the
CRS170Aswitchwillselect,bydefault,ModemA.

power from both modems is diode ORd so that the switch remains active if power is
lostfromoneofthemodems.
ModeSwitchesTheModeDIPswitches,locatedontheantennasideoftheCRS170A,allow
the switch to operate in two different modes: Normal (Intelligent Controller) Mode and
SDM300L/CDM600L(DumbController)Mode.

Data Switching is accomplished inside each modem, in the data interface itself. A Y cable
connects both the Online modem and the Offline modem to the terrestrial data source.
Transmitdatadrivesbothmodemsinparallelsothatthestandbymodulatorisalwaysreadyto

Also located on the antenna side of the CRS170A are two green LEDs that indicate which

With the bridging architecture of the CRS170A (whereby identical terrestrial data traffic
signals are routed to both Online and Offline modems), the redundancy controller can avoid
unnecessaryswitchovers.Byexaminingthefaultstatusofbothmodems,itcaninferifthefault
is external to the system. For example, the CRS170A has been configured to switch following
UnitfaultsorTransmitTrafficfaults,andthemodemshavebeenconfiguredforexternalclock
operation.Now,supposethat theexternalequipment (network, multiplex,router,etc.)fails
boththeOfflineandOnlinemodemswillnowshowaTransmitTrafficfault(NoClockDetected
from Terrestrial Port). The CRS170A Controller State Machine will see that both faults have
occurred at the same time (in fact, within a 0.5 second window), and infers that the fault is
external.Therefore,nounnecessaryswitchoverisinitiated.

Notethefollowing:
1. The Managed Switch Mode method of redundancy is intended to be equivalent to pulling

theEthernetcablefromoneportandputtingitintoadifferentportonthesameswitch.
2. For the CDM625 modem: The user may configure one of the CDM625s four available
10/100 Ethernet ports for M&C Ethernet. As configured in Dedicated Management Port
Mode, when the modem is offline the M&Cdesignated portremainsfunctional and
availableforoperation,whilethethreeremainingportsareunavailable.Otherwise,ifnone
of the 10/100 Ethernet ports are reserved for M&C operation, all four portsbecome
unavailablewhenthemodemisoffline.
Thisconfigurationmustbeenabledonbothmodems.
Refer to the CDM625 Advanced Satellite Modem Installation and Operation Manual for
instructionstoconfigureoneofthefour10/100Ethernetportsforeachmodemforremote

3. For the CDM750/700/710/710G modems: When the modem is offline, althoughall

The two modems will now need to be connected together via use of a 1:1 PMSI cable (note that
this cable bypasses the CRS-170A).
Chapter4.CABLESANDCONNECTIONS
The Pre-Mapped Symbol Interface (PMSI) is a function associated with DoubleTalk Carrierin-Carrier that permits the modulator in a selected unit to provide a direct copy of its output (the
outbound interferer) to the second modem. The other modem may then choose to take the
PMSI signal and use it for its own CnC reference. In this 1:1 redundancy, the PMSI is an
RS-485 multi-drop bus system where one device transmits and the other device on the multidrop bus is configured to receive.

IP Redundancy Configuration
SetupofaCDM570L1:1IPRedundancySystem,usingtheCLI,isasfollows:
Step
Procedure
The two modems will need an Ethernet connection to each other through a Layer 2 switch
(preferred) or hub.
Before connecting the modems to the CRS-170A, you will need to first configure the following
modem IP module settings:
Redundancy Configuration 1:1 Redundancy set to DISABLED.
Administration Working Mode: Both modems need to be set to the same

Working Mode.
Administration Features: Both modems need to have the same IP Option

Feature set.
On both modems, enter a unique IP Address that is on the same subnet (Interface
Configuration Ethernet Interface IP Address). Verify that you can ping from one
modem to the other (Operations and Maintenance Diagnostics Ping).
On both modems, set Redundancy Configuration 1:1 Redundancy to ENABLED. Save

Parameters to permanent storage and power down both modems.
Connect the modems to the CRS-170A.

While monitoring the Serial console CLI on both modems, observe the following after powering
on both modems at the same time (also observe the CRS-170A Online LEDs to see which
modem is the Online modem).
Online modem CLI displays:

On the Online modem, select the Redundancy Configuration menu (Figure 3-3). Observe that
the correct IP Address/Mask is displayed for the Local and Redundant Unit. You will then need to
set the Traffic IP Address/Mask (this also needs to be in the same subnet as the Management IP
addresses).

Itisphysicallyimpossibletoconnectallavailabledatainterfacesolutionswithin
a single 1:1 redundancy system at a given time. For example, when using the
CDM625 in a 1:1 system, the user is unable to establish an ASI interface
together with a G.703 Unbalanced interface, or an RS422/232 interface
together with an HSSI interface. Therefore, the quantities of cables and
accessoriesfurnishedwitheachredundancykithavebeenpredeterminedwith
thisoperationallimitationtakenintoconsideration.
The type of 1:1 YSplitter cable required for modemtouser interconnection

depends on the users data interface. It is essential to ensure that the control
andIFconnections,bothRxandTx,aremadecorrectly.

external Ethernet hub to insure that traffic will continue after a switchover. If an
Ethernet switch is used, there could be a several minute outage while the Ethernet
Switch relearns the correct output Ethernet port. Using a dumb Ethernet hub
allows LAN to WAN traffic to continue even after a switchover occurs since both
