How to set the redundancy monitoring of BATCH servers

Introduction
A local Ethernet network needs to be built in PCS 7 for redundancy monitoring of redundant
BATCH servers.
Requirements
● A network adapter for the local Ethernet network is available for redundancy monitoring on
each BATCH server of a server pair (referred to below as the 3rd network adapter).
● All software components have been installed on the BATCH servers.
Procedure
1. Open the dialog window "Network connections" via the Control Panel.
2. Select the menu command Advanced > Advanced Settings.
3. The terminal bus must be at the top of the list for the connections. Set the 3rd network
adapter in the list under the terminal bus.
4. Deactivate the options "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "File and Printer Sharing ..." in
the "Network Adapters and Bindings" tab for the 3rd network adapter
5. Click "OK".
6. In the "LAN or High-speed Internet" list of the "Network Connections" dialog box, select the
3rd network adapter and then select the menu command File > Properties.
7. Check the "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" box and deactivate all other elements.
8. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
9. Click "Properties".
The "Properties of Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" dialog box opens.
10.Set the "local" IP address in the "General" tab.
Note
Enter different IP addresses for the master server and standby server from a private subnet
range (e.g., subnet 192.168.0.0) that cannot be routed to the WAN.
11.Click "OK".
