Chapter 3 Configuring Platform Parameters<br />

RF Module Redundancy Overview<br />

• The QAM-RF module in slot nine only is not configured and is reserved for redundancy<br />

purposes. However, the QAM manager of all QAMs of module nine is Broadcast.<br />

• The Enable Module Redundancy option is selected<br />

Upon failure of any of the active modules, the backup module is automatically activated with<br />

the configuration of the faulty QAM-RF module. The typical fail-over time is between 10-20<br />

seconds.<br />

Use the RF module redundancy if the following applies:<br />

• All output RF ports of the <strong>NSG</strong><strong>9000</strong>-<strong>6G</strong> device are combined into a single RF network.<br />

• When relatively high availability at reasonable cost is required.<br />

NOTE: If high availability cannot be compromised, use 1:1 device redundancy. It provides protection<br />

against various failures and shorter fail-over time.<br />

3.13.1 RF Module Related Alarms<br />

Triggering Alarm<br />

A triggering alarm is any alarm that is critical and is issued by the QAM-RF module, or the<br />

upconverter as the following table lists:<br />
