Hub Redundancy Management

Setting Redundant Circuits

4. Choose any circuit from the Circuit Name list that appears by double-

clicking on it. A Redundancy Information View window appears.

5. Set the Retry Count to any value between 1 and 10, inclusive.

6. For any of the devices other than the IRM-3 enter the Ethernet address of

the secondary hub device, which will be polled, in the MAC Address Add

ﬁeld. This ﬁeld should allow you to enter the address in any of the

following formats (where X is any hexadecimal value from 0 to F):

XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX

XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

For the IRM-3, enter the IP address of the secondary hub device, which will be

polled, in the IP Address Add ﬁeld. You should enter this address in the

format NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN (where NNN is a decimal number from 0 to

255).

7. Enter the Board Port Instance for the primary connection. For example, if

the primary connection is on port 4 of a module in the device’s ﬁfth slot,

the Board Port Instance would be 5.4. (Modules on these devices start

from 1 and can go up to 8 depending on the MMAC type.)

8. Change the Port Circuit Status to Active and the Port Circuit Type to

Primary.

9. Choose Save All Changes from the File menu. This will save the circuit

conﬁguration you entered.

10. Now change the Board Port Instance to represent the backup connection.

Change the Port Circuit Status to Inactive and the Port Circuit Type to

Backup.

11. Choose Save All Changes from the File menu. This will save the circuit

conﬁguration you entered for the backup connection.

12. Close this Redundancy Information View and then bring it up again.

Verify that the redundancy setup information is present and correct.

13. Click on the Circuit Enable ﬁeld and choose Enable. This enables the

circuit that was created on the primary hub device. Choose Save All

Changes from the File menu.

14. Now physically connect the secondary circuit between the two hub

devices. To test the redundancy, disconnect the primary circuit and make

sure the backup circuit becomes active.
