Receiver Switching
There are two types of receiver switching: hardware failure switching and hitless
switching due to fading. The switching functionality is physically implemented in
two different kinds of switch, the RMX switch and a hardware switch, see Figure
46 on page 62. Selection is based on alarm information from the receiver
section of the radio unit or the MMU, see Table 2 on page 60. However, hitless
switching is performed in the RMX switch. 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 receives the
signal. See Section 6.1.4.1 on page 97 for a description of the alarms.
