14.2.6 Redundancy Configuration
Since firmware 0x0E02, AVY16-ES100 has an integrated redundancy manager that allows
acting as an AuviTran AVRed-ES100. In redundant mode, AVY16-ES100 will have dual
redundancy ports to improve cable reliability. EtherSound stream is duplicated on both
ports, so if one link fails, AVY16-ES100 will switch automatically to other link in three
audio samples.
Like AVRed-ES100, AVY16-ES100 has three different redundant working modes. Each
mode will be fully described below. Classic AVY16-ES100 mode, without active
redundancy management, is set by checking “Standard 3
rd
Port” option. This is the
factory default configuration.
14.2.6.1 “Redundant IN” configuration
This mode indicates that AVY16-ES100 behaves as an AVRed-ES100 “IN”, i.e. that 3
rd
port is EtherSound “IN” port, and ports A and B are redundant “OUT” ports.
The two redundant links handle the same EtherSound stream. Each have to be plugged
to an AVRed-ES100 “OUT”, or another AVY16-ES100 configured in “Redundant OUT”
mode.

Redundant links taking
two different paths
In this example, first AVY16-ES100 is set in “Standard 3
rd
port” mode. Second one is set
in “Redundant IN” mode. Thanks to this configuration and distant AVRed-ES100 set in
“OUT” mode, link between FOH and Stage is secured by using a dual redundant path.
As soon as one link becomes faulty or has a quality drop, card will automatically switch to
the other link, assuming its quality is better than the defective link.
Thanks to a ultra-low latency fault detection, no audio default can be heard in case of
broken or poor quality link.
