MINI-LINK E and E Micro
3.9.2.6 1+1 Protection Switching
In protected operation, the switching logic controls transmitter and receiver
switching for the protected radio section.
The selection is controlled and monitored locally or remotely.
The Switch Multiplexer Unit (SMU) contains all switch logic circuitry for
protected systems.
Transmitter Switching
Transmitter selection only applies to hot standby systems. Selection is based
on alarm information from the transmitter section of the radio unit or the MMU.
Selection can also be made manually from the MMU front or from a PC. An
alarm with high priority overrides an alarm with lower priority. The radio unit
with the lowest priority alarm transmits the signal. See Section 6.1.4.1 on page
97 for a description of the alarms.

Alarm information from the transmitting side is collected in the Control and
Supervision processor in each MMU and sent to the Switch Logic in the SMU.
The signal is sent to the Radio Unit (RAU) to control the transmitter On/Off
function.
