Step Task
1 Configure the DB-25 “Data” connector on the modem rear panel for “Redundancy Mode”. On each
modem, set “1:N” redundancy to the Active state:
Select: Utility  1:N  Enable,Disable  set to Enable
2 Power down all CDM-625/As.
3 Power up all CDM-625/As. Verify that front panel LEDs indicate that each Traffic Modem is ONLINE.
5.2.4.1.1 Configure CDM-625/A 1:N Redundancy for Carrier-in-Carrier®
If you use Carrier-in-Carrier® (CnC) with any CDM-625/A traffic modem, special configuration
steps must be taken to make sure proper operation of the modem(s) within a configured 1:N
Redundancy System.
Before you make any configurations changes, see Figure 4-8 and the instructions found in
Section 4.4.2 in Chapter 4. CABLES AND CONNECTIONS to connect and secure the CA-0000275
PMSI Multi-drop CnC Plus Cable (<11X> DB-9M, 8.25’) between the Redundant Modem and all
other Traffic Modem(s) using CnC.
The CA-0000275 cable bypasses the CRS-300 1:10 Redundancy Switch.
Once you interconnect all CnC-enabled modems with the PMSI Multi-drop Cable, you must then
configure each CnC-enabled modem. Use the CDM-625/A Front Panel menu to do these steps
(make sure to press ENTER to save your changes):
• First, from the top-level Select: menu – use the ◄► arrow and ENTER keys to navigate
each nested menu level until the PMSI control mode display screen appears:
Select: Configuration  CnC  PMSI-control
Select: Configuration Test Monitor

• Then, from the PMSI mode display screen – use the
▲ ▼ arrow keys to select Redundancy,
and then press ENTER.
