A.2.1.1 1:1 Redundancy System Setup (Using a Single
Ethernet Interface)
See Chapter 5. SERIAL INTERFACE OPERATION for detailed information
about the remote commands and queries cited in this section. See
Chapter 4. ETHERNET INTERFACE OPERATION for the HTTP (Web
Server) Interface M&C counterparts for these operands.
Do these steps to set up a 1:1 Redundancy System using a single Ethernet
interface:
Step Description
1 Turn both units off, and then connect them to the 1:1 Redundancy System
hardware using the proper cables.
2 Turn on Unit #2, and change its serial remote address from 1 (factory
default) to a valid unique value (typically 2) so that it does not conflict with
any other unit in the system.
3 Change Unit #2's IP address from the factory default (192.168.1.4/24) to a
valid unique value (typically 192.168.1.3/24) so that it does not conflict
with any other unit in the system.
4 Enable redundancy mode by setting the ESW serial remote command
(typically ESW=1 or ESW=2). You may hear the waveguide switch(es) throw
once you enable redundancy mode. Unit #2 is now the online unit.
5 Turn on Unit #1.
6 Change Unit #1's serial remote address / IP address if necessary (typically
the factory default values are correct).
7 Enable redundancy mode by setting the ESW serial remote command
(typically ESW=1 or ESW=2). You may hear the waveguide switch(es) throw
once you enable redundancy mode. Unit #1 is now the online unit.
8
Set up all parameters for Unit #1 so that the configuration can be copied to
Unit #2 (AMP, MUT, ATT, etc.).
