Managing Your LAN Stations

Taking Over a Failed Host

4.3 Taking Over a Failed Host

You can designate a computer running Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 as a redundant host for another one. Once

the supported host fails, this redundant host will take over all its LAN stations.

NOTE

• Only LAN stations (m320-based) can be taken over by the redundant host;

USB stations (m300 / m302-based) cannot.

• You must install the drivers and utility of LAN stations for a redundant host.

For detailed instructions, please refer to section “3.2 Installing Drivers and the Utility”

on page 19.

• Once the supported host recovers, it will automatically take over all LAN stations

assigned to it. Users will be disconnected from their sessions if any on the

redundant host.

To designate a redundant host for another one, please do the following:

1. Log in to the planned redundant host with an administrative account, launch MultiPoint Manager, and then

click LAN Stations tab.

NOTE

• Ensure that the drivers and utility for LAN stations are installed on this redundant

host. Otherwise, LAN Stations tab won’t appear on MultiPoint Manager.

2. On LAN Stations tab, click Failover by host.
