This feature applies to redundant D400 units, where both D400s are equipped with a Local
HMI (KVM card). When this feature is enabled, it is recommended to enable auto-login and
configure Local HMI in KIOSK mode in both the redundant D400 units.
If the D400 units are configured in non-redundant configuration, this feature is not
applicable.
This feature allows a user to interact with the Local HMI of the active D400 using KVMs of
both D400s at the same time, allowing two separate Local HMIs to show data from the
same active D400.
When auto-login is enabled, the Local HMI screens of redundant D400s display default
pages as per their designation (D400A or D400B) and the configured Local UI Main Page
for D400A / D400B. This allows the Local HMI screen of a D400 to display same UI page,
regardless of its active or standby state.

These parameters can be configured using D400 Configuration GUI > Systemwide >
Runtime GUI > Global configuration tab. Refer to D400 Software Configuration Guide for
details.
• The Standby HMI redirects to Active D400 parameter must be enabled or disabled
both in Active and Standby D400s for proper operation.
• When auto-login is not enabled, the Local HMI screens of redundant D400s display the
configured User Home page in the User Management tab. Refer to the D400 Software
Configuration Guide for details.
• Standby Local HMI redirecting to Active D400 depends on the configured peer D400 IP
addresses and Keys transferred to the peer D400, but is independent of the heartbeat
communications options.
• The Local HMI on the Standby D400 behaves same as Local HMI on the Active D400
for all access purposes. As a result, the "Configure Remote HMI Non Observer
Privileges" feature does not take effect on the StandbyD400.
• The Utilities Login feature to login to the Standby D400 only though the Local HMI is
redirected to the Active D400.
• The Export Database feature in D400 Utilities downloads the database into the USB
mounted on the Standby D400.
• The Export Database CSV Files feature in D400 Utilities stores the files on the Standby
D400.
