Note: Save conﬁguration data after completing the conﬁguration steps. Manually entered

conﬁguration data will be lost on a reboot unless it is saved ﬁrst. To save conﬁguration

3.9 Conﬁguring GadgetGateways in Redundant Twin Mode.

The Twin Redundancy mode enables two GadgetGateway routers to operate as a redun-

dant pair for high availability applications. This enhanced capability increases reliability

and eliminates some single mode failure sources. For a more detailed description see Sec-

tion 2.5.

This section contains step-by-step instructions on how to set up the a pair of GadgetGate-

way routers for operation in redundant twin mode. For details on how to execute the

sequence of commands described below refer to Section 4.10.

1. Using the serial connection, check the redundant twin mode menu to see if the Twin

709 configuration subnet/node address is set to zeros. If not you must first clear the

twin configuration data (See the twin mode configuration menu) or by clearing all

configuration data (See the tools menu). Also make sure twin mode is disabled. If not

disable it using the Twin Mode configuration menu.

2. Using the serial connection, set up an IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway address

for each router. Using a PC, ping each router to ensure that it is communicating on the

IP network.

Note: Consult the network administrator to procure the IP address, subnet mask, and

Gateway address, if not already known.

3. Set up the 852 interface for both the routers and add them to the same 852 channel. You

may do it in either manual mode or Normal mode with a Configuration server. Refer to

Section 3.3 or Section 3.4 for instructions on 852 configuration.

4. Verify that the routers are configured correctly by checking the Channel Lists on the

routers. This can be done through either the Serial Interface or the Web Interface (Sec-

tion 4.6 or Section 5.6). If configured correctly, each member of the redundant pair

should have its twin in its channel list.

5. Commission both routers using an appropriate network management tool.

The GadgetGateway routers are now ready to be conﬁgured for Twin Mode.
