Setting Up Redundancy Controls
Note: This feature is for the D9854-I only.
The Redundancy Control area allows you to configure redundancy for MPEG over
IP and MPE outputs when an active port fails due to a physical connectivity loss.
The data port 1 is labeled as TS OUT 2, and the data port 2 is labeled as TS OUT 3 on
the rear connector panel. For more information, see D9854/D9854-I Receiver Rear
Connector Panel (on page 28).
1 In the IP Settings page (System Settings > IP Settings), refer to the Redundancy
Control area.
2 From the Mode drop-down list, choose the redundancy mode for MPEG over IP
and MPE data.
Choose Manual Data1 or Manual Data2 to only use Data1 (port 1) or Data2 (port
2) for output data. The remaining redundancy controls below are not applicable.
Choose Backup: Primary Data1 (default) or Backup: Primary Data2 to use port 1
or port 2 as the primary data port and if a physical connectivity loss occurs, it
will failover to port 2 or port 1 (the backup port).
Choose Mirroring to send the same data to both port 1 and port 2. The remaining
redundancy controls below are not applicable.
3 If Backup: Primary Data1/Data2 is selected as the Mode, choose the redundancy
direction from the Direction drop-down list. Choose Revertive to attempt to
revert back to the primary port when using the backup port and the primary port
is active again. Choose Non-Revertive to always use the backup port, regardless
of the condition of the primary port.
4 In the Delay Forward field, set the time to switch the data port after the system
detects a failure, in a range from 0 to 10000 milliseconds.
5 In the Delay Back field, set the time to wait when reverting back to the primary
port once the primary link is active again, in a range from 1 to 120 seconds.
Note: If Non-Revertive is selected as the Direction, this field does not apply.
6 Click Apply.
Viewing the Redundancy Status
Note: This feature is for D9854-I only.
The Redundancy Status table displays the latest redundancy status change.
The Ports In Use column displays the current output port in use (Data1 or Data2),
the Change Reason column displays a description of the reason for the last
redundancy status change (Link or Setup+Link), and the Change Date & Time
column displays the last date and time the redundancy status changed.
