3.2 Network Failover Solution
(D6600 Only)
An installed Conettix System should have at least two
D6600s and two D6680s/D6682s to allow for a
redundant backup to the first system in the event of a
system Number 1 failure. To allow for a redundant
backup of the D6680/D6682, program the IP address
of D6680 Number 1 into D6680/D6682 Number 2.
This allows for a change-over from D6680/D6682
Number 1 to D6680/D6682 Number 2. This might
seem like a simple solution, but it is much more
complex than it appears. In a network environment,
the MAC address plays a crucial role in delivery of the
data to the D6680/D6682. By simply switching from
D6680/D6682 Number 1 to D6680/D6682 Number 2,
no data would be delivered to D6680/D6682 Number
2 immediately after switching. This section does not
explain why this happens, but how to overcome this.
17. Click the plus sign (
) next to Ports (COM &
LPT) to reveal the individual ports.
18. Highlight the Communications Port (COM1)
used to connect the D6200 Communications
Software to the D6600 COM4 port using a direct
connect null cable.
19. Right-click and select Properties from the menu
that appears.
20. The Communications Port (COM1) window
appears with four tabs across the top.
Software version 5.5C or greater must be
installed in the D6680 for the Alternate
MAC Address function.
In Figure 5, page 10, each of the D6680s is
programmed with the same IP address, but only one
is connected to the network at the same time by using
an AB switch. This switch could be a larger switch
that also changes the phone lines from one D6600 to
the other, or any other type of switch that the location
might use as long as it switches the network
connection from one D6680 to the other.
