Repeater Redundancy

5.By default, all ports are created as Inactive Backup ports.You should set one port to be the Primary port and one port to be the Active port. Typically, the

same port is both Primary and Active but this is not required. To select primary

and active ports, click button 1 on a port to highlight it then click ;

select the same or another port and click . Only one port can be the Primary port and only one port can be Active at any one time; if you set a different port to be Primary or Active, the original Primary or Active port automatically resets to Backup/Inactive.

NOTE

The Status of the Circuit Name must be set to Disabled when you configure the port list.

All backup ports will be disabled as soon as you enable the redundant circuit; the ports remain disabled until they become active due to primary port failure. Ports cannot be manually re-enabled until you have disabled and reset the circuit of which they were a part. Backup ports which are part of a disabled circuit cannot be manually re-enabled.

6.Once you have configured all the ports that compose the redundant circuit,

enable the circuit by clicking .

NOTE

Be sure to make all physical connections to the backup ports once the redundant circuit has been configured and enabled.

To clear the settings in one circuit, highlight the Circuit Name that you want to

clear, and click on .

To clear all redundancy configurations, click on in the All Circuits portion of the window. Reset does the following:

Deletes all entries in the Circuit Addresses box

Changes the status of every Circuit to Disabled

Reverts to previous Circuit Name(s)

Clears all module and port entries

NOTE

After clearing redundancy settings by either method, backup ports remain disabled until you manually reenable them so that data loops do not occur. Before you enable the ports, disconnect their physical connections.
