Note
When there is a reset to factory defaults, the redundancy mode Automatic Redundancy
Detection (ARD) is enabled.
The configuration of the ring ports is also reset to the factory-set ports:
•
X-300: Port 9 and port 10
•
X-300 EEC: Port 8 and port 9
•
X304-2: Ports 5 and 6
•
X308-2M: Port 1 and port 2
•
XR324-4M: Port 1 and port 2
•
XR324-12M: Port 1.1 and port 1.2
•
X408-2: Ports 5.1 and 5.2
•
X414-3E: Ports 5.1 and 5.2
If other ports were used previously as ring ports, with the appropriate attachment, a
previously correctly configured device can cause circulating frames and therefore the failure
of the data traffic.
Ring Ports
In the two drop-down lists, select the ports that will be used as ring ports.
Observer Mode
Note
You will find information on the observer function in the section "X-300/X-400 observer
(Page 73)".
The observer monitors malfunctions of the redundancy manager or incorrect configurations
of an HRP ring. It is also capable of opening the connected ring if problems are detected
(protection mode).
Using the "Observer Mode" drop-down list, set the functionality of the observer:
●
Disable
The observer function is disabled.
●
Protection Mode
The observer function operates in protection mode
●
Restart Observer
The observer function is reset and the protection mode is enabled again.
Observer Status
The "Observer Status" display box shows the current status of the observer:
●
If the observer has not detected a problem, "passive" appears in the display.
●
If the observer has detected a problem, "active" appears in the display.
●
If the observer function is disabled, a small dash appears in the display.
