and has a Standalone redundancy role.
4.2.6.2 Configure Redundant Receivers
You need to set or check these configurations for receiver redundancy:
●
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 for return path
traffic.
●
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.
Note:
During system startup, the Primary receiver is always given priority to become the
Active system. The Secondary system waits up to 10 seconds for the Primary system
to assume the role of Active.
●
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.
To configure your receivers for redundancy or check configuration, perform these steps:
