3.2REDUNDANCY

The VHSIM-G02 supports two modes of operation. In the active mode, both interfaces are enabled, and all LED descriptions will apply to both ports. In the redundancy mode, one port is active while the other is redundant.

In the redundancy mode, only one of the two ports on the VHSIM-G02 is active at one time. The port with link status showing (either a green LED, solid or blinking, or an amber LED) is the active port. If both ports show a link, Port 1 is the active port. The default port for the primary port link is Port 1.

The interfaces can be set in the active mode only if the host platform has 16 or less fixed front panel ports. If the host platform has more than 16 fixed front panel ports, the ports on the VHSIM-G02 will be in redundancy mode. The host platform will allow the redundancy mode to be set regardless of the number of fixed front panel ports.
