3.3.1 Cable Connections – Standalone (Non-Redundant) Operation
In non-redundant (also referred to as standalone or single thread) upconverter configurations the
upconverter has an Input/Output Module (IOM-XX) for the RF Input and the IF Output. An
upconverter with a Transmit Switch Module (TSM-XX) may be operated in a non-redundant
configuration if an IOM is unavailable.
Figure 3-4 shows a non-redundant con
figuration using with an IOM installed; Figure 3-5 shows
cabling accomplished with a TSM installed.
3.3.2 Cable Connections – Redundant System Operation
In subsystems where a redundant upconverter configuration is used, the backup upconverter has
an Input/Output Module (IOM-XX) and the online converters have Transmit Switch Modules
(TSM-XX), which switch to the backup upconverter when a fault is detected. See Appendix B.
REDUNDANT SYSTEM OPERATION for a discussion of the upconverter’s use in redundant
applications.
