Chapter 4 Configuring CTMS Administration Software

Interface Failover

Step 4 The Patch File Preparation window appears. Watch this window to monitor the progress of the file download. Buttons will be inactive until the patch file is loaded.

Once the file is loaded, the window displays a Confirmation message.

The software wizard displays the software versions that are installed and provides active Yes and No radio buttons so you can choose to switch the newly loaded software to the active partition.

Step 5 Click Yes or No to make your choice. Then click Next to finish the software upgrade task.

The install wizard displays a dialog window that logs the progress of the update.

Step 6 When the log indicates that the files have been switched, click Finish to complete this task.

Interface Failover

Interface failover provides a backup mechanism for Ethernet adapters. When enabled, the secondary adapter handles all network traffic if the primary adapter or its connection fails.

To enable interface failover:

Step 1 Make sure that the primary Ethernet adapter (Ethernet interface 0) is connected to the network and that its static IP address and gateway parameters were correctly configured during system installation.

Step 2 Connect the secondary Ethernet cable (Ethernet interface 1) to a network switch. The connection port can be on the same switch as Ethernet interface 0 or on a different switch but both Ethernet interface 0 and Ethernet interface 1 must be on the same gateway.

Step 3 From the Interface Failover window, click the Enable button, then click Apply.

Note If the Enable button is grayed out, check your network connection.

To disable interface failover:

Step 1 With no active meetings in progress, click the Disable button.

Step 2 Click Apply. Your network adapters will be configured and restarted and the interface failover disabled.
