7.2.2.1 SFP option
The SFP option allows the connection of different modules for the IP input. Depending on the SFP module thus various management
and media types can be connected to the PALIOS-IPM2. The IP input can be expanded to another IP data source. The SFP module
figures as the stream port 2, so that either “Stream port 1“ or “Stream port 2“ can be used as an IP input.
Simultaneously there is the ability to define one of the two IP inputs as the preferred source and the respective other IP input as
redundancy source. When an IP data source fails, then switches to the other data source. For this purpose, individual rules can be
defined for when and how to switch. Inclusion in the monitoring is configured on a per-channel basis. This is a global option, deciding
when to switch: either when an input channel is down or all monitored channels have failed.
Switching back to the preferred IP input is not automatic, but can only be done manually via the user interface.
Please note that actual monitoring on a particular channel starts for real one if actually receives data.
The form of the network settings also includes means for selecting the preferred IP input. The selection is made by pressing the ap-
propriate option button. “Error check of the channels“ as described above configures the device for switchover if only one of the mo-
nitored channels fails (“or“) or only when all monitored channels have failed (“and“) .
At the right of the configuration of each of the 8 IP input transport streams, there is a check box. By marking this box, the respective
transport stream is included in the monitoring.
