Enable Standby Manager
Click the check box to enable or disable the function.
Standby Port
Select a port for the link to the second ring.
The standby port is involved in the redirection of data traffic. In there are no problems, only
the standby port of the master is enabled and handles the data traffic into the connected
HRP ring or HRP bus.
If the master or the Ethernet connection (link) of one of the standby ports of the master fails,
the standby port of the master will be disabled and the standby port of the slave enabled. As
a result, a functioning Ethernet connection to the connected network segment (HRP ring or
HRP linear bus) is restored.
Standby Connection Name
This name defines the master/slave device pair. Both devices must be located in the same
ring.
Here, enter the name for the standby connection. This must be identical to the name entered
on the standby partner. You can select any name to suit your purposes, however, you can
only use the name for one pair of devices in the entire network.
