9-1551SW-CTL (Switch Control)

9
The Switch Control also contains hardware to monitor critic al system timing signals and informs the SPE when these signals fail. For example, if the timing sign als fro m a Tone/C lock c ircu it pa ck fai l, the Switch Contro l will inform the SPE and t he SPE can then s witch to a st andb y Tone/Cl ock c ircu it pac k, (if Tone-Clocks are duplicated).On Hig h and Criti cal Rel iabi lity sy stems (dup licat ed SPE), a MAJOR a larm f ailure of the Switch Contro l circ uit on the ac tive SPE re sults i n an SPE int ercha nge, i f the health of the standby SPE permits. (Refer to Chapter 1for more informati on about dup licat ed SPEs. ) The fo llowin g sec tion s assum e that if the SPEs are d uplic ated , and if a Switch Control circuit has a MAJOR alarm, the MSSNET circuit pack associated with that Switch Control c ircuit is located in the stand by SPE.As mentioned above, the MSSNET circuit pack c ontains both the Switch Control circuit and the MSS Host Adap ter circuit. A failure of either circ uit will light the red LED on t he MSSNET c ircu it pac k.The test mssnet command tests both the Switch Control circuit and the MSS Host Adapter circ uit on the MSSNET circuit pack. Whenever the MSSNET circuit pack is replaced, test mssnet should be used to verify that both circuits are operating correc tly.Figure 9-91. Switch Control Connectivity
