It is essential that you correctly make the control and Rx/Tx IF cable connections. For example,
the Tx IF from Modem 'A' connects to the Tx IF port 'A' on the CRS-170A, and Modem 'B'
connects to the Tx IF Port 'B' (and the same for the Rx IF connections). Failure to observe this
cabling requirement will result in system malfunction.
When connecting the control cables between the CRS-170A and the modems,
make sure that the screw locks on the Type 'D' connectors are securely fastened.
This prevents the accidental unmating of the cable, particularly if a standby unit
must be removed or replaced.
