Description 
In many cable systems today, transmitters, 
amplifiers, and receivers can be configured in 
a redundant mode.  There will be “Main” 
modules and “Backup” modules. In the Prisma 
II
 Platform, these modules are configured as 
Master / Slave.  This Master / Slave 
configuration requires a physical “pin-to-pin” 
connection from the Master module to the 
Slave module.  If a Prisma II Redundancy Interface Panel is not used, the pin-to-pin connections must be made at 
an external DB-37 connector/cable tied to the Prisma II Chassis. 
 
The Prisma
 
II Redundancy Interface Panel is a rack mount interface designed to make that external pin-to-pin 
connection for Master / Slave functionality in Prisma II Modules much easier to implement.  Once the Prisma
 
II 
Redundancy Interface Panel is connected to a Prisma II Chassis, Master/Slave can be easily connected using lever 
operated terminals on the front of the Prisma
 
II Redundancy Interface Panel.
