Reconfiguring a Circuit
Once a circuit is enabled, the redundancy scheme will operate automatically.
However, you may wish to alter its configuration after it is initially enabled. You
can alter the Circuit Name or Retry Count, as described in previous sections,
while a circuit is enabled. However, to change the port status or address
information of an enabled circuit, you must first disable it.
To do so:
1. Use the drop-down list to display the appropriate circuit in the Current Circuit
text box; note that the current status of the selected circuit (enabled or
disabled) is displayed just below the Current Circuit text box.
2. Click Configure, and drag down to Disable to inactivate the currently
selected circuit. The displayed status for the selected circuit will change to
Disabled.
