3.8.1ATM Redundancy Configuration Screen Fields

The ATM Redundancy Configuration screen allows the user to perform the following tasks:

To enable or disable the redundancy feature of the HSIM-A6DP.

To set which port (APIM) is the primary port of the HSIM-A6DP.

To configure the desired procedure that the HSIM-A6DP will go through when activating the redundant port due to problems with the primary port.

To configure the desired procedure that the HSIM-A6DP will go through when reactivating the primary port, after all problems with the primary port have been resolved.

To set the interval at which the HSIM-A6DP will test the redundancy status of the APIMs installed in the HSIM-A6DP.

View the results of APIM redundancy tests.

To set the interval at which the HSIM-A6DP will perform APIM redundancy tests.

To test the ports manually, without having to wait for the test interval time to elapse.

To reset all configurations in the ATM Redundancy Configuration screen to their factory default settings.

The following section provides definitions for the fields of the ATM Redundancy Configuration screen.

Redundancy Status (Toggle)

This field is used to enable or disable the APIM redundancy feature of the HSIM-A6DP. This field toggles between [Enabled] and [Disabled].

Primary Port (Toggle)

This field allows the user to set which APIM installed in the HSIM-A6DP will be the primary port. This field toggles between 1 and 2. Selecting 1 signifies the APIM in slot APIM 1 on the HSIM-A6DP. Selecting 2 signifies the APIM in slot APIM 2 on the HSIM-A6DP.
