RESILENT LINKS: SW4WHT failure recovery


This device gives connectivity to CASS, GRACE, GRHIL, ROBODIMM, autoguiders and other network sockets in the control room of the WHT as well as the wireless network in that area. Is located in the blue cabinets by the WHT fire alarm control panel.

If this device fails, major problems will occur in the WHT observing system. The connectivity will be lost with the autoguiders, instruments in all the focal stations and ICS.

Before following the next steps is a good idea to power cycle sw4wht to see if that fixes the problem.

The spare for this device is sw11wht, below it, and the procedure to use it instead of sw4wht is as follows:

  1. Switch off sw4wht.

  2. Move front UTP cables from sw4wht to sw11wht as described in this table:

  3. Move the fiber in the back of sw4wht to sw11wht

After this is done, it takes a few minutes for the network to come back again.
