Description
Manual The currently online modem remains online regardless of any current or future
faults. Online and offline modems remain in this state until you Force the
switchover.
The redundancy switch chooses which modem is online based on fault conditions:
Auto
•
If the original online modem, Unit 'A' becomes faulted, then switch occurs to
the offline modem, Unit 'B' only if it is fault-free.
•
Operation can not revert back to the original online modem, Unit 'A, until it
clears its faults.
•
Switchover back to Unit 'A' occurs only if the new online Unit 'B' becomes
faulted and Unit 'A' is clear of any faults.
