Automatic Redundancy The NMS-4000 provides comprehensive redundancy of the
Head-End system components. During a failure in the signal
path, a redundant device is automatically allocated to the
channel according to the assigned programmed signal
priority:
• Full redundancy (1 to 1 ratio) – one redundant device
for each active device.
• N to 1 redundancy - one redundant device for several
(N) active devices.
• Closed Loop Redundancy – monitors the outgoing
signal for faults.
• Major and Minor Alarms – redundancy switching can be
triggered according to various programmed alarms.
The NMS-4000 supports N to 1 Modulator redundancy
switching for multi-carrier systems, and 1 to 1 Modulator
redundancy switching for single channel and multiple
channel contribution and distribution systems.
The NMS-4000 manages Redundancy Switches, which
provides 1 to 1 redundancy switching of the broadcast
transmission between two Multiplexers or Modulator
devices. If one of the devices fails, the broadcast channel
transfers automatically from one Multiplexer or Modulator to
another.
