The DDA-4320 incorporates a protection facility for switching three of the outputs between signals from a companion DDA-4320 when a loss of input is detected. For this configuration, a special double width rear assembly (type ZDA-4320RH) is required to link the signal and logic sections of the two modules.
6.5 VA Other: Temperature range 0 - 50° C ambient. Mechanical Suitable for mounting in IRT 19" rack chassis with input, output and power connections on the rear panel. Finish: Front panel Grey background, black lettering & red IRT logo.
The priority switching in normal mode follows non reverting logic which dictates: In the event of failure of the Main DDA-4320, the Standby DDA-4320 will assume control of the switched outputs and become Main causing the failed path DDA-4320 to become Standby. This implies that when the failed path is restored it will remain as Standby and not become Main unless either a failure of Main occurs or a manual changeover is requested.
When using TRAPS via SNMP, depending on how system is set up, in order to avoid double reporting of alarms via the DDA-4320 card itself and the CDM card (SNMP Agent) of the frame, major and minor SNMP alarms that are reported to the CDM card of the frame can be disabled.
DDA-4320 & ZDA-4320RH Instruction Book Revision 7 Installation Pre-installation: Handling: This equipment may contain or be connected to static sensitive devices and proper static free handling precautions should be observed. Where individual circuit cards are stored, they should be placed in antistatic bags. Proper antistatic procedures should be followed when inserting or removing cards from these bags.
Two front panel changeover switches allow manual switching between Main and Standby modes when operating the DDA-4320 as a pair with the ZDA-4320RH double width rear assembly. To select a module as Main, press the Change-Request pushbutton of this module. The Change-Allow/Inhibit switch must be set to the Allow position for the Change-Request button to work.

IRT Electronics modules, fitted with SNMP capability, use SNMPv1. An SNMP managed network consists of three key components: Network Management Systems (NMS), agents, and managed devices.

Communication between the NMS, the frame and its loaded modules are via this CDM-xxxx module. Note that the NMS software is third party and not supplied by IRT Electronics. Ethernet connection for SNMP operation is via an RJ45 connector on the rear of the frame, below the mains inlet.
Revision 7 DDA-4320 SNMP Functions: With the DDA-4320 installed in an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability, the following SNMP functions can be monitored and controlled by an SNMP Network Management System (NMS), (Requires MIB revision > 4.4): - Read the status of the Urgent and Non-Urgent alarms: Irt4320ddaAlarms (1) noAlarm.

For situations when “No Fault Found” for repairs, a minimum charge of 1 hour’s labour, at IRT’s current labour charge rate, will apply, whether the equipment is within the warranty period or not.
