Defining Backup Ports
Use the Port Backups menu under the Configuration Panel to define up to 6 master/slave port pairs. If the connection to the master port fails, the slave port will automatically take over.
For greater reliability, primary and secondary ports should be located on different hubs. Use the following menu to specify and activate port backup pairs.
