2 Introduction This Setup Guide is a systematically structured guideline to assist you with the set-up of your Meinberg product. Functionality of IMS-RSC180 The RSC Redundant Switch Control module controls the switchover mechanism between two reference clocks in redundant systems with two Meinberg clock modules. The RSC is used to switch between the connected clocks and to select the corresponding pulse, frequency outputs, and serial interfaces.

ESD-proof bags that are crumpled or have holes cannot provide effective protection against electrostatic discharges. ESD-proof bags must have a sufficient electrical resistance and must not be made of conductive metals if the device has a lithium battery fitted on it. Date: December 17, 2021 IMS-RSC180...
In the event that a power supply unit is no longer working (e.g. defective), please return it to Meinberg for repair. Failure to observe these safety instructions may result in serious injury and/or property damage. The IMS system must only be installed, set up, and operated by qualified personnel.
4 LEDs, Switches, and Interfaces on the IMS-RSC180 RSC180/MDU RSC180 1. LED Indicator Clock 1 / Clock 2 (SDI 1 / SDI 2) These LEDs show which of the two reference clocks is currently the "Master Clock". Remote This indicates whether the module is currently being managed remotely over an Ethernet connection. In remote mode, the Master Clock can be selected using an SNMP command.
