bAckup remote
MultiRack has an additional option for constant connections. When building a remote entry, a field is available
for backup options—one of these options is “Keep Retrying This Remote” mode. In a similar fashion, using this
mode will allow the unit to disregard the timeout value and keep a persistent connection attempt. The difference
is that the Disconnect function still works and the connection will not be re-initiated on a power-up. This mode is
meant for users who are making longer-term temporary connections, and do not want the system to time out and
disconnect in the event of network failure.
The MultiRack has the capability to automatically make a backup IP connection if there is a failure in the primary
connection. This is called
Fallback , and is an option chosen after defining a new Remote connection.
FIgure 66 bAckup remote
As shown in Figure 66 , highlight an existing connection (this will be the primary connection) and choose Change
Remote Settings . In the pop up window, a pull-down box is available to allow selection of a fallback connection
from the list of existing remotes.
After connection, if data is stopped on the primary connection for the length of the timeout value (set in the
connection’s profile), a connection will be attempted and maintained to the fallback remote.
