Disaster Recovery

Uplink Profile Settings

Once the transcoder detects a failure after the configured signal loss timeout
(defined by the uplink), it will initiate a disaster recovery using the PNC uplink
Disaster Recovery Profile settings. If the PNC uplink is set to allow local disaster
recovery, the disaster recovery profile setting on the unit determines the disaster
recovery setting to use (local or uplink). If the PNC uplink does not allow local
disaster recovery, the uplink disaster recovery profile is used, even if the disaster
recovery profile setting on the unit is set to local. If the unit is not connected to the
PNC uplink, an error message is triggered and it will use the local disaster recovery
settings, if enabled.
During a disaster recovery, the PNC sends the Disaster Recovery Table (DRT) to the
receiver, along with the backup locations. The DRT is a table of data structures sent
from the PNC to the unit through the satellite uplink. For more information on the
uplink disaster recovery, contact your PNC uplink administrator.
By default, the disaster recovery is enabled. To set up and view the disaster recovery
parameters using the front panel, see Setup Menu: DR (on page 123) and Status
Menu: DR (on page 54). To set up and view the disaster recovery parameters using
the web GUI, see Configuring the Disaster Recovery Settings (on page 157) and
Viewing the Disaster Recovery Status (on page 161).
