2. To configure the upper section (Redundancy Configuration), check the box next to
Chassis Redundancy Enable.
3. From the Redundancy Role menu, select Primary.
4. From the Redundancy Mode menu, select Hot or Warm.
Note: Hot means multicasts are joined by the standby. Warm means multicasts are not
joined until the APEX is active.
5. Configure the redundant APEX IP address. If you are connected directly via ENET2,
this will be the ENET2 IP address of the secondary APEX. This is the address the
heartbeats are sent to. If you want to use the OAM&P network for heartbeats, type
in the secondary APEX's ENET1 IP address.
6. Click Apply.
The primary APEX will now start sending heartbeats to the secondary APEX. It
enters the active state, and un-mutes its QAM outputs.
7. Configure the lower section (Redundancy Trigger Configuration) by defining the
conditions which cause the APEX to enter a fault state:
CAUTION Do not enable ENET2 link loss if directly connected to the other APEX through ENET2.
The secondary APEX also enters a fault state when it detects a link loss, and will not
takeover. This is intended to be used ONLY IF ENET2 is connected to a hub or switch.
8. Click Apply. Because the secondary is not yet configured, the primary APEX
becomes active.
9. Enable the routes that were previously configured.

GigE x and y Link Loss: If TS redundancy is enabled, enable each pair of GigE
link loss. The default behavior is to enter a fault state if a single GigE port fails. If
TS redundancy is enabled, it is preferable for the APEX to fail over to the backup
GigE port rather than to the backup APEX. This way, both GigE interfaces must
experience a link loss for the APEX to failover.
Note: This option may be inaccessible or grayed out if TS redundancy is not in
use.
ENET1 Link Loss: If ENET1 fails or the OAM&P cable is pulled, the APEX enters
a fault state — Enable this option.
ENET2 Link Loss: If ENET2 fails or the cable is pulled, the APEX enters a fault
state.
Temperature Fault: APEX enters a fault state if operating temperature is
exceeded — Enable this option.
QAM Faults: APEX enters a fault state if a module, port, or channel fails.
Enable/Disable.
