Resource Card Synchronization
In normal operating mode, all parameter and route changes are synchronized from the Active/Master
PX-RES to the Standby PX-RES.
When upgrading PX-RES firmware, images are also synchronized. If the alternate firmware image is
activated on the active PX-RES, the alternate image on the standby PX-RES also becomes active.
If there is only a single PX-RES in the frame, the
PX-RES Synchronization
parameter is set to
Yes
and
disabled (grayed out).
If a new PX-RES is inserted into the spare slot, the active PX-RES transfers all its content to the new
standby PX-RES and the
PX-RES Synchronization
parameter is then enabled.
If the
PX-RES Synchronization
parameter is set to
No
, all the synchronization stops. Routes and
parameter information of the standby PX-RES will remain as is.
Active and Standby Determination
Active and Standby states are non-volatile.
An active PX-RES remains active after a power cycle.
The standby PX-RES only becomes active if the active PX-RES is removed or in case of manual failover.
If two PX-RES modules are inserted into a frame and powered up at the same time, the PX-RES in the
top slot will have higher priority.
Sync Notes
The
Sync Mode
parameter (set to
Auto
by default) allows for configuration of switching point
settings. In
Auto
mode, the output switches relative to the detected sync reference assigned to the
module.
If
Sync Mode
is set to
Standard
, the
Output Standard
parameter can be used to specify the standard
to use as the reference signal. The output switches relative to the specified reference.
