Terrasat 1:1 IBUC Transmit Redundancy Protection System
Complete 1:1 TX protection switch, compact and integrated mounting package, supports all IBUCs
IBUC 1:1 Transmit Redundancy System
The Terrasat 1:1 transmit redundancy system completes the full 1:1 protection configuration for the IBUC Intelligent Block Upconverter system. A completely outdoor-mounted system, the TX interface incorporates the switching logic and drivers into the BUC, instead of using a separate switching logic unit with its expense and complexity.
Protected units monitor each other’s alarm condition and, through a simple switching junction box, make the decision to switch. The IBUC 1:1 package includes a cloning feature to simplify 1:1 setup. Terrasat’s 1:1 solution is a complete package with a dual-IBUC mounting bracket for convenient installation.
A 1:1 junction box mounts on the ounting plate. Practically a passive unit, the junction box manages the functions of dividing the IF signal and routing signals through an Ethernet switch. It supports interface connectors and includes a bank of LEDs for visual indication of alarm conditions. The user interface is via web browser to embedded web pages, handheld terminal, RS232 or RS485.
A Receive 1:1 system is available with a separate outdoor RX interface box. The receive interface box performs all required functions for operation of LNB’s. The RX 1:1 can receive DC power from the IBUC power supplies or it can be powered by direct AC input. No indoor controller is necessary. Monitoring and control is via TCP/IP port on the interface box. The interface box fits the Ter-rasat universal mounting bracket and the system comes with cables and waveguide switch.
Redundant System Advantages
