Figure 26: Redundant Ethernet board
This boar
d provides dual redundant Ethernet (supported by two fibre pairs) together with an IRIG-B interface for
timing.
Different board variants are available, depending on the redundancy protocol and the type of IRIG-B signal
(unmodulated or modulated). The available redundancy protocols are:
● SHP (Self healing Protocol)
● RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol)
● DHP (Dual Homing Protocol)
● PRP (Parallel Redundancy Protocol)
There are several variants for this board as follows:
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running RSTP, with on-board modulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running RSTP, with on-board unmodulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running SHP, with on-board modulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running SHP, with on-board unmodulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running DHP, with on-board modulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running DHP, with on-board unmodulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running PRP, with on-board modulated IRIG-B
● 100 Mbps redundant Ethernet running PRP, with on-board demodulated IRIG-B
