REDUNDANCY OPERATION
B.1

Introduction

The LBC‐4000 L‐Band Up/Down Converter System can optionally be configured for redundant
system operation. This appendix provides detailed information for cabling and otherwise
configuring the LBC‐4000 for 1:1 redundancy.
B.2

Redundancy Operations Overview

•
Figure B‐1 provides a functional schematic for LBC‐4000 redundant operation.
•
Figure B‐2 illustrates the cabling requirements for redundant operation.
Note the following:
o BNC connections, where applicable, use 50Ω BNC male‐to‐male cables.
o It is recommended that all Type 'N' to Type 'SMA' cable connections are best
accomplished using a Type 'N' male to Type 'SMA' female adapter, then using Type
'SMA' female‐to‐female cables.
•
Sect. B.3 addresses the control and configuration of an LBC‐4000 Redundancy System
via the LBC‐4000 front panel.
•
Sect. B.4 addresses the control and configuration of an LBC‐4000 Redundancy System
via serial remote control.
