Overview of Quantum Hot Standby

Fiber Optic Cable

Cable

The CHS 110 Hot Standby modules are connected by a fiber optic cable. The cable

Connections

has two identical strands. Each strand transmits a signal in only one direction. For

 

this reason, each strand must be connected between the upper (transmit) port on

 

one module and the lower (receive) port on the other.

 

If the cable is not connected properly, the Hot Standby modules are not able to

 

communicate and the Hot Standby system does not function. The Primary controller

 

operates without a backup. The Standby unit remains offline.

 

A 3 meter fiber optic cable is provided in the 140 CHS 210 00 Hot Standby kit. One

 

strand of that cable is marked with the manufacturer’s name. This is the only way to

 

distinguish the two strands.

 

This illustration shows CHS 110 Hot Standby modules connected by a fiber optic

 

cable.
