Redundant network adapter
To obtain a redundant network connection to the LAN E
OS
can be equipped with multiple network cards, that
form an AFT (Adapter Fault Tolerance) team. A team consists of two or more network cards of the same type,
either exclusively 10/100 Mbps network cards or exclusively 10/100/1000 Mbps network cards. At least one of
the cards must be a server adapter. The other ones can be server or desktop adapters. Nevertheless we recom-
mend for a redundant network adapter to use exclusively server adapters to achieve an easy spare part han-
dling.
Configuration of an AFT team
To configure an AFT team you must be logged in as administrator. Open the device manager (
Start -> Settings -
> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware

properties of the selected card are displayed on the General tab to the right.
With a right click on the list of network cards open the drop down menu and select
Add to Team ->
