CRS-280/280L IF Switch for 1:N Redundancy

Revision -

Connector Pinouts

3–6

MN-CRS-280/280L

3.2

Front Panel Connectors

Unless otherwise noted, the connectors featured on the front panel of the CRS-280/280L are
intended for connection to all IF equipment internal and external to the 1:N redundancy setup.

3.3

Rear Panel Control Connectors

Unless otherwise noted, the connectors featured on the rear panel of the CRS-280/280L are
intended for connection to the companion redundancy switch control interface.

3.3.1

CRS-280 Switch Control Interface Connector

3.3.1.1 J1 CRS Control Interface Connector, DB-25F

The 25-pin ‘D’ Type female (DB-25F)

J1 CRS Control Interface

connector is used to connect the CRS-280L to the

IF Switch Control

port, located on the CRS-230 Controller card installed in the CRS-400
1:8 Redundancy Switch or CRS-300 1:10 Redundancy Switch, or to the

P1 IF Switch Control

port located on the control interface side of the CRS-500 M:N Redundancy

System’s Data Switch Unit (DSU).

The Comtech EF Data CRS-400 1:8 Redundancy Switch is a legacy product that is
no longer in production.

The J1 CRS Control Interface

connector communicates with the logic interface of the

companion redundancy switch to drive the currently selected terrestrial modem, and to decide
whether the system is in bridged or backup mode. The CRS-280L performs the same bridging
and backing up functions of the Tx and Rx IF signals to match what the companion redundant
switch does to the terrestrial data signals.
