LNB 1:1 Redundant Switch System Overview
1.1 Operation
The LNB 1:1 Redundant Switch system (RSW) provides LNB redundancy by automatically switching to a
backup LNB in the event of an LNB failure. During normal operation, there is one Active LNB and one
Standby LNB which are both monitored continuously. LNB health monitoring is accomplished by watching
the LNB active power consumption. If the active LNB falls outside of a specified window, the RSW
automatically switches to the backup LNB.
1.2 System
1.2.1 Headless Operation (ODU Only)
The RSW is headless, meaning that it can be operated without the use of an Indoor Unit (IDU).
All monitoring and control (M&C) can be performed over Ethernet using the Web Interface or via
SNMP. TheOutdoor Unit(ODU) contains all control circuitry and is connected to the user’s system
through the Interfacility Link (IFL).
1.2.2 System with Optional IDU
The Indoor Unit (IDU) is an optional add-on which provides a 1U server rack with an M&C
interface. The IDU interfaces with the ODU via an LCD panel and buttons, and has configurable
alarms in the event of an ODU fault.

Getting Started
This section will outline the RSW installation and setup.
2.1 Warnings
If the RSW is configured for AC power, before powering on the unit, make sure that
the system is properly grounded. This is required for safety purposes.
Do not open the ODU controller box lid while the system is powered on.
Inspect all cables for damage prior to connecting them to the system.
2.2 ODU Setup
2.2.1 Ku/Ka-Band LNB Installation
LNB installation for Ku-band and Ka-band components are identical, except different sized
fasteners are provided.
The following components are included with the LNB mounting kit.
Item 1 (Socket Cap Screw)
Item 2 (Washer)
Item 3 (Loctite)
8x for 1:1 RSW
12x for 2:1 RSW
8x for 1:1 RSW
12x for 2:1 RSW
1x
The following tools are required. (Not included with the mounting kit)
Tool 1 (Hex Key)
M2.5 for Ka-Band
M3 for Ku-Band

(Interfaces for Rx In 2, IF Out 3 and LNB 3 are only present in 2:1 redundant switches)
Repeat the following steps for each LNB interface:
1. Remove any tape on the waveguide interface.
2. Insert the gasket included with the LNB into the groove on the LNB.

3. On the thread of Item 1, apply two to three drops of Item 3. Repeat this step for four
times.
4. Install the LNB onto the Rx In of redundant switch using the Item 1from step 3 above
and one Item 2 on each Item 1 with Tool 1.
5. Connect the LNB to the IF Out port with the matching number for the LNB position.
(i.e. LNB 1 connects to IF OUT 1)
