DT-4500 Series C- and Ku-Band Down Converters MN/DT4500.IOM
Introduction Revision 2
The BU performs fault detection, self-reconfiguration, and logical switching
functions. If the BU has a fault, it is prevented from performing the protection-
switching task. If the BU does not have a fault, it assumes the frequency and
attenuation of the faulted online converter, and compensates for the chain
losses.
Changes in frequency, attenuation or polarity are entered into the backup table
as they are made, as well as information from new online units. The HSB does
not interfere with the remote control communications link for access to any of
the converters in the "Daisy Chain".
