WEC8500/8050 Operation Manual
1.4.3.2
Configuration of Centralized Clustering Service
In the centralized cluster configuration, all the WEC8500s in a site are installed in the
center. This is suitable when all the networks in a site are configured around the backbone.
This option is suitable for a site where several buildings are close to each other or a large
building where a seamless handover service is required using one or more WEC8500s.
Better performance can be obtained if there is a single backbone network and it is
preferable in terms of installation or maintenance because its service configuration is
simple.
An example of service configuration diagram is shown in the below figure.
