The 1985A Standby Switch is for use with either both are functioning normally. The 1985A will detect most Switching System failures. In the event of each and determines if Switching System failure the 1985A will automatically select the second CPU (1995 or 1996) as contains an audio which will sound in the event of a CPU failure.

DESCRIPTION The 1985A Megapower Standby Switch allows two 1995 or 1996 CPUs to operate in tandem, where one CPU is the primary controlling CPU of the system and second is the backup CPU in stand-by mode. Operationally, all keyboard control input commands and the LAN output commands are routed through the 1985A and connected to the two 1995 or 1996 CPUs and the Video Matrix Switch.

1985A MEGAPOWER CPU STANDBY SWITCH RS-232 Connector The RS-232 connector used all ports is an 8-pin telephone type connector (RJ45). The terminal box supplied with the telephone cables has the same pinout signals as the telephone connectors, Please see Tables 1 for the pinout of these connectors.
High Speed Control Code Line sets of three BNC connectors, located on the rear The two panel of the 1985A, are used to connect the high speed control code from the CPUs to the Video Switching System. (See Figure 2). Each 1995 and 1996 Series CPU contains two control code outputs.
1985A MEGAPOWER CPU STANDBY SWITCH SETUP All controls for the 1985A Standby Switch are located in the center of the unit’s front panel as shown in Figure CPU SELECT SWITCH This 3-position switch selects whether the CPU that will run the video system is to be selected automatically (middle position) or manually (by selecting CPUl or CPU2).
