Eclipse Platforms

Eclipse is available on two platform types, Terminal and Node. Both employ a
split-mount architecture with a rack-mounted indoor unit and direct-mounted ODUs
connected by a single coaxial cable. Refer to:
• Eclipse Terminal on page 1-1
• Eclipse Node on page 1-6
• Eclipse ODUs on page 1-14
Eclipse Terminal
Eclipse Terminals are single-link radios, comprising an IDU and ODU. Multiple IDUs
are in the IDU 300 product group. Three ODUs are available for these IDUS.
Terminals may be operated as single links, or networked where IDUs are back-to-back
connected via their tributary ports at intermediate sites.
Most Terminals can be paired for protected link operation.
Terminals may also be over-air interfaced to like Terminals of higher or lower ultimate
capacity and, with the exception of the IDUsp, to Eclipse Node.
