User Manual  

GENERAL:

The DDA-4320 path protection and distribution amplifier covers a wide range of distribution and monitoring functions for ASI, SDI or STM-1 signals.

Four outputs are provided at the rear of the module. The rear assembly includes a bypass relay to switch the Input to Output 61 in the event of a power failure.

The DDA-4320 incorporates a protection facility for switching three of the outputs between signals from a companion DDA 4320 when a loss of input is detected. For this configuration, a special double width rear assembly (type ZDA 4320RH) is required to link the signal and logic sections of the two modules.

Changeover-inhibit and changeover-request switches are provided on the front panel for use where modules are so linked.

A manual changeover request may be made either locally by using the front panel switch, remotely via a connection on the rear assembly, or via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) when installed in an IRT frame fitted with SNMP capability.


NOTE: 1     4 Outputs only - Outputs 3 & 4 not fitted.
