Repeater Redundancy

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 EMM-E6 uses to periodically test each of the circuits. The EMM-E6 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 EMM-E6 checks the circuit’s Retries field. If Retries is greater than 0, the EMM-E6 waits the number of seconds specified in the Poll Interval field, and then polls the circuit again.

To set the Poll Interval:

1.In the All Circuits box, type in a new value in the Poll Interval field and click . Poll Interval is the time in seconds between retries (if the first attempt is unsuccessful).

To set the Test Time:

1.In the All Circuits box, type a new test time in the Test Time field in a 24-hour

HH:MM:SS format and click . The Test Time is the time of day when the EMM-E6 polls the addresses listed in each of the enabled circuits.

To immediately test all enabled circuits:

1. Click in the All Circuits box.
