See Sect. 4.2.2 and Figure 4‐1 in this chapter for details of the CDM‐625 Modem‐to‐Switch
Control Interface connection, and Sect. 4.2.3 and for details of the CDM‐625 Modem‐to‐Switch
IF Interface connections. These figures illustrate how to connect a pair of CDM‐625 modems
together with the CRS‐180 70/140 MHz IF 1:1 Redundancy Switch module; the table that
accompanies each figure lists the cables provided in KT‐0000159 for this initial setup.
