Note: The DIO channel is not available for any other purpose when the 455U unit
is connected to a redundant module.

If the Dual Redundant Control Connection becomes disconnected, then the two units will
remain in their previous active/in-active state.

Redundant units should be connected to separate power supplies and must be connected to
separate antennas and coaxial cables.

Although only one antenna will transmit at any one time, care must be taken with the
installation of the two antennas to avoid one antenna affecting the radiation pattern of the
other. The antennas should be installed at least 2 meters (6 feet) apart.
