3.7 DUAL
ETHERNET
Each controller (Dual Ethernet models) is able to interface to the host computer through two
different Ethernet networks. The dual Ethernet is intended to allow the physical replication of the
connection to the host computer, however dual Ethernet is not managed by REDS.

Sentinel Operating Mode
Standard
/Redundant
Sentinel Agent operating mode.
Standard: if the system is
redundant, no diagnostic digital
input information about the
Standby system is reported
Redundant: diagnostic digital input
information about the Standby
system is reported. The digital
input diagnostic information of the
active controller is replaced with
the diagnostics of both the
controllers (4 inputs 4
inputs Standby)
Topology Redundancy Role
Master Alone
/Master Working
/Master Protecting
Topology Role. Explicitly
connected to the Lonworks
address of the controller (0:
Working, 63 Protecting). The
selection of Topology Role to
Working/Protecting implies the
default value Active/Standby for
the Redundancy Role (read-only)
IP Address Selection Rule
Redundancy Role (A/S)
/Topology Role (W/P)
Defines the IP address selection
policy for the interface to both
Sentinel and the Host:
Topology Role: fixed IP address
Redundancy Role: variable IP
depending on the dynamic role
