    DURAstream™ DS-1404, DS-1406, DS-2408 FASTstart Guide Front - Port Types Network Pairs: Network Pairs are connected inline in the same way an appliance would normally be installed to the network. Network port 1 connects to one endpoint, and Network port 2 connects to the endpoint on the opposite end of the link. Network Pairs have a multi-tiered fail-open mechanism that allows them to preserve network connectivity in the event of an appliance failure, or even a power failure to the DURAstream™.
  • Page 11 DURAstream™ DS-1404, DS-1406, DS-2408 FASTstart Guide Appliance Pairs: Appliance pairs connect the appliance to the DURAstream™ in the same way that it would normally connect to a network. Appliance ports provide connectivity between the network traffic and the appliance. In addition to providing the appliance with inline network traffic, appliance pairs will also send heartbeat packets to monitor the health of the appliance.
