Redundant Mode

Redundant mode allows a 2nd "slave" controller to monitor the sequence status and follow along with the
"master" controller should the "master" controller go offline. While we design our hardware to operate for
years without a power cycle, and run our own operating system that is not susceptible to viruses, we
understand that sometimes a redundant system is a requirement for our customers.

Redundant Mode Setup

To enable redundant mode, use AMI-Terminal to configure both V16Pro units:

1.

Open AMI-Terminal from the Tools menu in WinScriptLive

2.

Select "V16Pro" from the product list.

3.

Click "Configure" and enter the IP address of the first V16Pro
