4.5.1.1.3 Duplicated System

In a duplicated system, there are two controllers, one with scope A-master and the other 

with scope B-standby. Each has its own amplifiers and I/O boards (that is, each amplifier 

or I/O board is scoped either A-master or B-standby).
Because each controller has its own amplifiers, a given GENII-RA700 will be connected to 

either the A-master controller or the B-standby controller in the PAGASYS configuration, 

and the Dante® network audio connections will be established accordingly in Dante® 

Controller.
The network audio connections must be mapped in Dante® Controller as follows:
