76 208495 REV C Operations Manual, HPA2, Compact Outdoor SSPA
Each amplifier can be configured for redundancy by the Teledyne Paradise Datacom
Universal M&C software that ships along with each unit. Using the Quick-Start cable, connect
each amplifier to the PC and run the M&C program. Select the “Settings” tab from the main
form. The “Settings” window will appear as shown in Figure 8-7.
1. System Mode: Each SSPA’s System Mode must be set to “1:1 Redundant Mode”
2. Choose a Hierarchical Address for each amplifier. HPA 1 means this SSPA will use
the RF switch position 1 as its On Line state position. HPA 2 will then use RF
switch position 2.
3. Redundancy Startup State: The amplifier which is desired to be on line should be set
“On Line”. The other amplifier should be set as “Standby”.
All settings are valid as soon as the operator sets them on the SSPA Settings window. The
SSPA’s redundant operation can be verified by monitoring the RF Switch Fault indicator as
shown in Figure 8-15.
