●
HD Port IP Address
– Both receivers should have the same HD port IP address when the
external Ethernet equipment is using the HD Link system as a default gateway.
●
Redundancy Role
•
When using an external controller
, both receivers should have a Standalone redundancy role.
•
When interconnecting the receivers
, one receiver should have a Primary redundancy role and
the other should have a Secondary redundancy role. The Primary system becomes Active and
begins receiving signals when both systems start up at the same time; the Secondary system
switches from Standby to Active when the Primary system fails or is powered off.
●
Audio Mute Control
(optional) – The Standby system passes incoming audio by default. You can
set the receiver to mute the audio when it switches to Standby mode so that you can more easily
detect which receiver is in Active mode versus Standby.
●
Contacts
(with an external controller)
•
You can either configure system major alarms via Output Contacts 1-4, or you can use an
external decision point that utilizes our analog status signal (either receiver level or signal-to-
noise-ratio).
•
Configure either Input Contact 1 or Input Contact 2 to control the Active/Standby system
state.
To configure your receivers for redundancy or check configuration, perform these steps:
1.
On the menu bar of one of the receiver interfaces, click

3.
Either make note of the HD port IP address to assure it is the same for both receivers or change
the IP address to match the other receiver. To change the IP address, perform these steps:
