Method and system for operating a monitoring system for a satellite communication system

摘要

A system and method of monitoring a signals include an occasional router generating a first output signal, a first service access processing system generating a second output signal and a second service access processing system generating a third output signal. A secondary service access processing system router receives the first output signal, the second output signal and the third output signal. A monitoring system selects at least one of the first output signal, the second output signal and the third output signal for monitoring and generates a video output signal. A monitoring display displays the output signal on a first display.

1. A method comprising:
communicating a first signal corresponding to a first content to a transfer switch through primary modules; communicating a second signal corresponding to the first content to the transfer switch through back-up modules; selecting a transfer switch on line signal corresponding to the first signal being communicated to an output of a head end or a transfer switch offline signal corresponding to the second signal being generated at the head end but not being communicated to the output of the head end to form a source signal; identifying a service access router input of a service access router corresponding to the source signal; identifying a service access router output that feeds a monitor router at a monitoring system; generating a first command signal for controlling the service access router to route the source signal from the service access router input to the service access router output; routing the source signal from the service access router input to the service access router output in response to the first command signal; communicating the source signal from the service access router output to the monitor router at the monitoring system; generating a second command signal for controlling a monitor router to route the source signal to a first display though the monitor router; and displaying the source signal on the first display associated with a monitoring console in communication with the monitor router at the monitoring system.
