Redundancy

The Redundancy tab allows you to set up a backup computer in case the
computer hosting the KE Manager goes offline. If the KE Manager goes
offline, the secondary computer will automatically take over operations,
allowing all connections to continue without disruption – with only a brief
period of 30 seconds when new connections can't be started. When the primary
computer comes back online it retrieves the updated database from the
secondary computer and re-takes all KE Manager operations.
To set up Redundancy, do the following:
1. Install KE Manager on a secondary computer with a USB license key. For
detailed instructions, see page 135.
Note: A second USB license key is required if you have more than 8 KE
Series devices in your setup.
2. On the secondary computer, log in to the KE Manager, click
the Redundancy tab.
3. Check Enable Redundancy and select the Secondary radio button.
4. Use the Primary Server IP drop-down menu to select the primary IP
address.
5. Click Save.
6. Redundancy is now running on the secondary computer.
