After the set ‘Up Time’ the NICA X automatically switches back to the Primary service.

Example

The Primary service is provided by an external system and the Reserve service is provided by the NICA X using

ISDN IMUX on 2 channels (see figure section 7.4 backup diagram). In this example the Audio Switch Module

(option) is fitted.

The Audio Programme feed from the primary external service is input into the CH1 and CH2 input connectors of

the NICA X and the Audio Switch Module loops this through to the output connectors of the NICA X. The Relays on

the audio switch module rest in this routing position so if the NICA X fails the programme feed is still routed as

required.

The remote unit to provide the other end of the Reserve does not have to be a NICA X unit as long as it is set to a

compatible coding Mode. If a NICA X is used, it must not be set in Backup Mode, but just in the compatible coding

Mode.
