Swapping the active network 81
PRO6 Control Centre
Quick Reference Guide
The colour of each device, together with its link (if applicable), indicates its current
status, as shown in the following table.
There is also an amber condition, which means that the item(s) is in error, but is not
contributing to the audio.
Viewing the status of the master controllers is particularly important, especially when
you wish to swap the active master controller (see “Swapping the active master
controller” on page 82), as it shows you which master controller is currently controlling
the network.
Swapping the active network
In the highly unlikely event that the active network (X or Y) develops a malfunction,
you can swap over to the standby network, making this the active one.
Note: The swap function does not swap control data, as this non-audio data finds its
own way through the network. This allows the router to swap to the inactive link, even
if the active link is broken or removed.
>> To check the health of the active network
At the GUI, open the Diagnostics screen by choosing homeDiagnostics, and then
check the status of the active HyperMac link. If it is green the link is good, but if it is
red there is a problem and you should swap to the standby HyperMac link.
