Note: By default, the advanced console server supports automatic failure-recovery back to the original state prior to
failover (V3.1.0 firmware and later). The advanced console server continually pings probe addresses whilst in
original and failover states. The original state will automatically be set as a priority and reestablished following
three successful pings of the probe addresses during failover. The failover state will be removed once the original
state has been re-established.
