Redundancy Menu

Redundancy is available only at the AP. The Redundancy Menu is used in protected installations where a backup transceiver can be immediately placed online if a primary radio fails. This protects against “single point of failure” scenarios. The Redundancy Menu contains selections and settings that are used to manage redundancy functions.

Redundancy functions require the presence of a specially-constructed supervisory board (MDS Part No.03-6061Axx). Ask your MDS representative for details.
