Electronics Protection Mode
In this mode there are two DS3 Controllers installed the Axxius 800, but only one DS3
line connected.
line connected.
The electronics mode of protection provides Controller card redundancy. Because there
is only one DS3 connected, there is no DS3 redundancy. The receive path from the DS3
line is simultaneously applied to the receiver of both Controller cards (see Figure). This
enables both controllers to monitor the condition of the DS3 line so both are
continuously framed up to the incoming signal. The Controller-select signal disables
the outputs of the low-speed receive paths on the standby Controller and enables the
low-speed receive paths on the active controller. The active Controller’s transmit signal
is connected to the transmit path of the DS3 line through a relay, while the standby is
disconnected until a protection switch occurs.

The automatic redundancy mode is used to enable and disable protection switching. If
the redundancy control process determines the active controller is malfunctioning, or a
maintenance switch is invoked (the switch command), a protection switch will occur.
This means that the active Controller relinquishes control to the secondary Controller.
This is done by enabling the standby Controller’s receive path and disabling the
originally active Controller’s low-speed receive path (Controller-select signal) and
the redundancy control process determines the active controller is malfunctioning, or a
maintenance switch is invoked (the switch command), a protection switch will occur.
