Chassis Redundancy Configuration

In a Chassis Redundancy pair, you must configure one APEX as primary and the other
APEX as secondary.
Note: Use the
chassis redundancy. The PID spaces are unique from primary to secondary to prevent
any stream erroneous acquisition following a failover. (The streams must be re-mapped
after redundancy is enabled.)
To ensure a successful synchronization of the configurations, you must follow the
procedures listed below:
1. Configure both APEXs with the same types of QAM modules (2x4 or 2x8) in the
same slots.
2. Configure both APEXs with the same GigE inputs enabled (GigE1 to 4).
In addition:

Configuring the Primary APEX

Your first step is to configure the APEX selected as the primary.
Configure APEX Routes
1. Using the
parameters.
2. Using the
Routing operation mode. (Manual routing is the main driver for 1:1 chassis
redundancy.)
CAUTION
Leave the routes disabled until chassis redundancy is enabled.

Quick Enable/Disable
Make certain that both APEX RF outputs are wired into the same combiners.
Make certain that RF redundancy is disabled, otherwise 1:1 redundancy is not
selectable (EM option is grayed out).
Make certain that primary and secondary APEXs have different GigE IP
addresses.
