QS.4.3 Configuring the switch ports for UR redundant operation

Primary Fiber Optic

Ethernet Port

Alternate Ethernet

Port (optional)

The universal relay offers a redundant port option once the link loss alert feature is enabled on the associated port, the relay will be able to detect a failure of the link, alarm, and switch to the alternate port. The following procedure should be used to enable Link Loss Alert on each of the the ports used in the redundant configuration.

ZNote the names of all switch ports that will require the Link Loss Alert feature to be enabled.

In our example the port named A1 is one of the ports that will be used in a redundant configuration, so the Link Loss Alert feature must be enabled on this port.
