Page 30: Disaster Recovery
A DR symbol is displayed on the front panel, and the D9859 web GUI displays a D/R in progress status. During a disaster, the receiver will attempt to tune to a different backup transport, based on the search path configured.
Page 31 Disaster Recovery If the acquisition fails or there is no signal lock on the Backup 1 transport, the receiver will continue to search for the next backup transport for PE1 (Backup 2 transport). If the acquisition is successful on the Backup 2 transport, the receiver will set PE1 to channel 101, but leave PE2 to channel 2 because PE2 is not specified for Backup 2 transport.

Page 43: Chapter 3 Installation
Cisco D9859 Advanced Receiver Transcoder. Qualified Personnel Only appropriately qualified and trained service personnel should attempt to install, operate, or maintain the D9859 transcoder. WARNING: Allow only authorized and qualified service personnel to install, operate, maintain, and service this product. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage may occur.
Page 44: Power Connection
AC power, see Appendix A - Technical Specifications (on page 321). As Cisco units are designed for continuous operation, some products do not have a power switch. In this case the mains cord and/or DC power supply cable serve(s) as the mains disconnect device.
Page 45: Installing The D9859 Transcoder
Cooling The D9859 transcoder is cooled by the use of internal fans. The air intake is from the front and the air outlet is on the rear. Note: Adequate cooling must be provided equaling 110 W (maximum) at 25°C per unit to avoid overheating.
Page 46: Connecting The Ac Power To The D9859 Transcoder
Make sure that the power cable is connected to protective ground. See for Grounding (on page 21) more information. The D9859 transcoder is equipped with one power supply located in the rear of the chassis. Note the location of the power supply in the event of alarms/warnings resulting in replacement of a power supply.
