Unshielded Twisted Pair NetworkRedundant Links Figure 2-3. Redundant Twisted Pair ConfigurationTo set redundancy between two 10BASE-T Modules, connect two links between the modules. The redundant link must be connected to a port on the same 10BASE-T Module as the primary link. Use a crossover adapter between each link unless you choose to uncross port 8 on one of the modules to make the connection. Refer to Chapter 1 for information on using crossover mode. Then use the SET PORT slot.port MODE REDUNDANT slot.port command to specify which port is the primary link and which is the backup link Patch Panels 2 - 14 ONline Ethernet 10BASE-T Module User’s Guide3 Installing and Operating the Module Precautionary ProceduresUnpacking Procedures Installation ProceduresFigure 3-1.
