V5.10.2/1

Chapter 1: Technical Overview

Redundancy

Star2 Technology

All components within the system utilise Lawo’s Star

technology:

Point-to-point connections

– with point-to-point connections, a fault only affects that part of the system,

unlike a TDM bus architecture where a fault may disrupt everything connected to the bus!

Dual star topology

– with redundant Router Modules fitted to the Nova73, and redundant Master Boards

in every DALLIS, then components connect in a dual ‘star’ mode. This protects signal paths from any
single point-of-failure. See

Link & Port Redundancy

Hot-swappable Modules/Cards

– every plug-in module or card can be hot-swapped without affecting the

rest of the system enabling online maintenance of the system.

Redundant Power Supply Units

– both Nova73 and DALLIS units can be fitted with dual redundant

power supplies, which can be isolated and exchanged from the front or rear. See

Nova73 & DALLIS

power

Passive backplanes

– the frame backplanes are entirely passive. With no active components, this

increases reliability.
