3-2. Main Unit Linking
The Main Unit Link feature allows you to control two MFR-6000 units at the same time.
Parallel Link
:
Controls two MFR-6000 units at the same time.
IP address and SNMP settings should be performed on each MFR-6000 unit. After these settings
are completed, all linked MFR-6000 units are set and controlled together on the unit that is specified
as Master.
Main Unit Link Specifications
Main Unit Link systems are set and controlled through a specified master unit.
Two MFR-6000 units can be linked as a master and slave.
All MFR main units in a system must be linked together and independent units cannot
exist in the system.
3-2-1. Parallel Link System Example
The system example below is a redundant system using two MFR-6000 units.
Note that in all MFR-6000 units the IP address of MFR-LAN1 is set to 192.168.1.10 and that
of PC-LAN1 to 192.168.0.12 as factory default. To prevent IP address conflict in a system,
you need to change IP addresses of either unit.
Also note that desired IP addresses can be set for system devices according to your network
conditions.
Setup Procedure
1)
Connect all devices in the MFR system as shown in the figure above.
Power on the MFR-6000 to be set as a Master, Remote Control unit and PC. Set the IP
addresses for the Remote Control unit (1) and PC (4). Power off the Master MFR-6000.
