Introduction SMS-7000 Modem Protection Switch

1.1 Overview
The switch is specifically designed to perform automatic redundancy switching for any
combination of up to two backup and eight prime Comtech EFData satellite modems. Up
to eight separate uplinks and downlinks can be accessed by the user at any time.
Each switch channel has a built-in breakout panel that is automatically configured to
support overhead, non-overhead, and programmable data-type modems. Configuration
and control of the switch and attached modems may be performed from a terminal or PC
connected to the switch remote port (refer to Appendix A); or directly from the switch
front panel (refer to Chapter 3).
The switch is compatible with the M-2000 multiplexer (refer to Appendix C for more

The switch is tested and certified to CE-Mark requirements.
