3.3.2.4 SB-2727/SRR Communications patching Switchboard

The purpose of the SB-2727 is to provide facilities for transferring two wire audio lines so that remote control stations can be selectively transferred to a choice of radio receivers. The equipment incorporates twenty, two circuit, removable waver, rotatory selector switches having twenty-five rotary positions: twenty-four active and one “off” position. This design permits the transfer of any one or all twenty remote control stations to any one of twenty-four receivers. Facilities are provided for transferring all circuits to additional communication patching switchboards when more than twenty remote control stations or more than twenty-four receivers are installed in the system. It is installed on platforms identified in Table 3-3. Table 3-7 describes general interface connections.

3.3.2.5 SB-2744/U Communications patching Switchboard

The SB-2744/U provides facilities for selecting and transferring any one of up to 16 remote control operating stations to any one of 10 transmitters. Facilities are also provided for transferring all circuits to addition switchboards when more than 16 remote control stations, or more than 10 transmitters are installed in a system. It is installed on platforms identified in Table 3-3. Table 3-8 describes general interface connections.

3.3.2.6 Rockwell Collins Digital Voice Privacy (DVP-200)

The DVP-200 provides 256 bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)Type III, Sensitive but unclass (SBU) capability to HF communications. TMR-90 platforms connect with the DVP-200 through the ALE modem to various switchboards that are platform specific. All RT-9000 platforms with the exception of the 175’ WLM connects to the DVP-200 from the RT-9000 transceiver via various switchboards. The 175’ WLM directly interfaces with the DVP-200 via junction box (1R-RQ1) between the RCU and the transceiver. Table 3-9 describes general interface connections with the DVP-200 on the 175’ WLM.

3.3.2.6 TMR90 interfaces on the FRC HF Switch (symphony subsystem) The HF switch is a computer-controlled patch panel that provides facilities for interconnecting a TMR-90 amplifier to an ATU or dummy load. The HF switch is a sub assembly of Symphony system onboard the FRC WPBs. The HF switch passes transmit RF energy, receive RF energy and ATU control signals between the TMR1096 and ATU. There is one N-type connector for each 125 Watt amplifier and one (1) N-type connector for each TMR-90 ATU. A total of five (5) female N-type connectors are needed for the TMR-90 system. The HF Switch also provides an interlock signal to the TMR-90 via two DB-15 connectors. Table 3-9 list the physical interfaces between the TMR90 system and HF Switch on the FRC platform.

Section 4: Interface Testing and Evaluation All testing shall be performed and documented in accordance with the HFRS Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP). These interfaces may be verified with a dedicated test procedure or as part of another test procedure. At a minimum, the interface between receive/transmit RF from the RF distribution system, the transmit AF audio path clear and encrypted, and receive audio path clear and encrypted will be tested to ensure system functionality.
