choose [Action]

The Redundant Control Panel window will then be displayed as in
Figure 9-12
. Note that
once the Redundant Control Panel is enabled, the Main Menu on the M&C program changes.
The Control Panel must be configured by selecting “Set Redundancy System” and choosing
an amplifier for SSPA 1 and SSPA 2. Either amplifier may be designated as SSPA 1 or
SSPA 2. Each amplifier is identified by its ID number. The ID number is a fixed number and
cannot be changed. It is a unique encoded value determined by the particular amplifier’s
model number and serial number. If the ID number is forgotten, refer to the System Watcher
window. This window continuously displays which amplifier, by ID number, is connected to
each specific COM port. After the Control Panel has been configured the display will change
to the view shown in
Figure 9-13
