Page 185: System Mode
MediorNet TDM 7.2 User Manual I00 3.4.3 System Mode A major feature of the MediorNet system is the automatic re-routing functionality. This feature will switch the signals to a redundant path in case of loss of a fiber link as long as unused fiber capacity is available. Automatic re-routing is enabled in the production mode.
Page 186: Reroute Priority
MediorNet TDM 7.2 User Manual I00 3.4.4 Reroute Priority If a link between two LINK-cards is interrupted or if a frame fails, the system will switch to a redundant link, if the system is set to Production Mode, to guarantee a signal transport from the source to the destination. A loss of a fiber link means also a loss of bandwidth.
Page 187: Routing Categories
MediorNet TDM 7.2 User Manual I00 3.4.5 Routing Categories For the routing, you do not need to take care about the network topology of the net. MediorNet calculates the shortest route automatically. It is also possible to avoid or prohibit the routing via defined links and nodes.
