  • Page 45 Configuration of Network Interfaces Fail Over (Default) The system supports the configuration of multiple network interfaces, which enables you to perform Fail Over or Load Balance functions. Fail over ensures server availability to the network. If the primary port is disconnected due to a hardware or cable problem, the secondary port will replace its network identity.
  • Page 46 Load Balance In load balance* mode, the transmission load is distributed among aggregated network ports. An intelligent software adaptive agent will repeatedly analyze the traffic flow from the server and distribute the packets based on the destination address. Load balance can only occur on Layer 3 routing protocols (IP or NCP IPX). Multicast/Broadcast and non-routing protocols, such as NetBEUI and Microsoft IPX, are transmitted over the primary port.
  • Page 47 Standalone Standalone settings enable each port to have a unique IP, which allows users on different network areas to share one TS-401T and maintain their independence from one another in the network. When using this mode, fail over cannot be used and only LAN 1 can be configured as DHCP server.
  • Page 48 • Obtain IP address settings automatically via DHCP If your network supports DHCP, TS-401T will automatically use DHCP protocol to retrieve the IP address and related information. • Use static IP address To use fixed IP address for network connection, enter fixed IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
