REDUNDANT ETHERNET CONFIGURATOR

The Redundant Ethernet Configurator tool is intended for MiCOM Px4x IEDs with redundant Ethernet using PRP
(Parallel Redundancy Protocol), HSR (High-availability Seamless Redundancy), RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol)
or Failover. This tool is used to identify IEDs, switch between PRP, HSR, RSTP and Failover, configure their
parameters, configure the redundancy IP address, or configure the SNTP IP address.
