4.2.2 Modem Firmware and Hardware Requirements
FortheCRS‐311tooperatecorrectlywhenconfigured forusewiththeCDM‐Qx/QxL
orSLM‐5650 /5650A modems, the Traffic Modem and the Redundant Modem must
beofthesamemodelhavingidenticalhardwareconfigurations,equippedwiththe
same option modules – all with the same firmware versions. This is mandatory for
the Redundant Modem to
properly mimic operation of the Traffic Modem upon
switchover.
CDM‐Qx/QxL Firmware and Hardware Requirements: For proper redundant operation,
regardlessofdatainterface,CDM‐Qx/QxLFirmwareVersion1.1.4orlatermustbeused.
SLM5650/5650A Firmware and Hardware Requirements: In order to support the desired
redundancy, the appropriate firmware must be
loaded in the SLM‐5650/5650A base modem,
Network Processor (if applicable) and CRS‐311. Higher versions of the firmware continue
support for the given interface (i.e. the highest version supports all interfaces); the lowest
firmwareversions,requiredtosupportagiveninterfacetype,areasfollows:
