Setting up link redundancy in networked mode
Link redundancy ensures UltraLink E-Series devices continue to work in case of a network switch or cable
failure. Redundant Links can be employed for Networked mode devices and Point-to-point devices.
NOTE:
Redundancy is not supported on Transmitter Cards.
Networked mode Connection guidelines
■
Make sure the UltraLink E-Series devices are all on the same subnet.
■
Connect each UltraLink E-Series transmitter and receiver to a managed network switch pair. Cables
from
LAN1
connectors should all connect to the same network switch, and cables from
LAN2
connectors should connect to the other network switch.
■
Complete all connections before enabling the Link Redundancy Feature.
■
For information on setting up network infrastructure and configuring network switches, contact the
network administrator.
