REDUNDANT SERVER CLUSTER
Two control servers can be configured
to form a cluster of redundant servers
in
the
Current
Infrastructure
Configuration table.
Since the control server serves as a
fundamental part of the system, a
backup and failover solution may be
required for system servicing and
functionality.
Users may add a second control
server to a system, which serves as a
backup or secondary server. In the
case that the primary server is not
available on the network, the
secondary server takes over the
active role, with all functionalities.
Therefore, even in the unlikely event of a failure of the primary server, the
system’s functio
ns are always available.
NOTE: Both servers operate under their own individual IP address. The entire system is
accessible under two different IP addresses.
NOTE: The processing boards will continue to work even if the Primary SERVER is not
available. In the event of a server failure, only the remote access (e.g. from the
GUI) and additional system functions (e.g. AutoControl) will no longer be
available.
Network Connections
The LynxCentraal GUI will communicate to the LYNX series 5000 RackFrames over
the IP network. Therefore, the first important step is to make sure that the LYNX
Components and the PC are using compatible IP network settings. By factory
default, the LYNX Components are configured with the following FIXED IP
addresses:
LYNX RackController (RCT5023-G)
192.168.1.162
LYNX SERVER
(RCT5023_SERVER or RCT5031)
192.168.1.160
NOTE
:
The described steps below refer to a new LYNX Controller or LYNX SERVER with
their respective IP addresses set to the factory defaults.
The IP settings can be reset to the factory defaults by pressing the RESET
BUTTON on the card edge for more than 5 sec.
