different port to be Primary or Active, the original Primary or Active port automatically resets to Backup/Inactive.

NOTE

NOTE

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. If you disable the redundant circuit, you must manually enable each backup port in that circuit.

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

enable the circuit by clicking .

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.

Monitoring Redundancy

Once you have configured your redundant circuits, you can use the fields in the All Circuits box to set the parameters that the SEHI uses to periodically test each of the circuits. The SEHI automatically polls all enabled circuits through the Primary port and all Backup ports at the time specified in the Test Time box. If the first poll fails (results in a no link condition with all of the circuit IP addresses), the SEHI checks the circuit’s Retries field. If Retries is greater than 0, the SEHI waits the number of seconds specified in the Poll Interval field, and then polls the circuit again.

To set the Poll Interval:
