The Root Bridge will be selected in one of two ways: the Root Bridge can be manually set (recommended) during the
configuration of the Repeater Peer table (Figure 3)
or
the Root Bridge designation will default to the lowest MAC address
of all the Model Horizon’s in the network. The manual Root Bridge configuration is located in the “Advanced Settings”
section.
Redundant Backup
The ESTeem Model Horizon configured in Access Point
Repeater mode will automatically function as a redundant
backup if two Model Horizon’s are installed at the same
location (Figure 7). If two Model Horizon’s are connected to
the same switch, one of the Model Horizon’s will be
Blocked
when the Spanning Tree Protocol is completed. The network
will continue to use this route until any problem with the
original Model Horizon is detected and the second Model
Horizon will begin operation at that site.
Redundant Master Configuration
The configuration in Figure 7 will also provide a redundant
backup for the Master Site (Root Bridge). Configure both
Model Horizon’s as Root Bridges (see above) giving the
primary Root Bridge a value of 1 and the secondary Root
Bridge a value of 2.
