12 Comms redundancy

For redundancy, in a totally polled DNP environment, all that is needed are the 2 DNP slaves connected
over different physical media. Likewise, in a Modbus environment all that is needed are 2 Modbus slaves.
The master station will take care of trying to communicate over the different channels.
In unsolicited mode in DNP, the slaves themselves need configuration.
In the Advanced screen, Show more options needed to be checked.
when you re-enter the Advanced screens more options will be available in many areas (see also section
30.1 of the I&O manual).
