System Back-Up

1. How the IRC back-up system works

The IRC system incorporates a back-up system.
One of the satellites can be designated to serve as a back-up master.
When both the master and back-up master are in order, the system works in the following
sequence:
(1) Each satellite sends updated GLU/PBLU data to the master.
(2) The master receives the data, processes it and sends it back to the satellite.
(3) The satellite sends the updated data to the back-up master.
(4) The back-up master receives the data, processes it and sends it back to the satellite.

If the master breaks down, the back-up master serves as the master after a master declaration
is made at the back-up master. If the back-up master breaks down, updated data transmission
to it can be stopped by a master declaration at the master. When the master or back-up master
recovers from the breakdown, it resumes its function as the master or back-up master by the
recovery declaring operation.
