Usage

General

Up to version 1.0.0.3 of the connector, this page contains three sections.

  • The first section displays the status and configuration of the device:

    • Active Unit: Displays the selected unit and also allows you to change the setting.
    • Unit A Status and Unit B Status: Displays whether any alarm from unit A or B has been detected by the redundancy switch.
    • PSU1 Status: Displays whether the output power of PSU1 is within the valid range.
    • PSU2 Status: Displays the status of power supply 2. The PSU2 can be operational with output power within the valid range or have the state "inactive". The output power can also be outside of the valid range, in which case this is indicated with an alarm condition or the inactive state.
    • Controller Status: Displays whether the controller is operating normally or if there is any active alarm.
    • Auto Switching: Allows you to configure automatic redundancy switching when an alarm is detected on the main unit and no alarm is detected on the inactive unit
    • Alarm of Inactive Unit: Allows you to configure if alarms from the inactive unit have to be ignored or processed normally.
    • Command Forwarding: Allows you to enable or disable command forwarding for both units.

  • The Network Settings section allows you to monitor the configuration of the network, e.g., IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and TCP Port.

  • The final section contains information about the Date and Time internal setting of the device, and displays the Software Version.

From version 1.0.0.4 onwards, there are five sections: Switch Configuration, Switch Behavior, System Information, Status, and Network Information.

  • The Switch Configuration section contains information to configure the status of the switches, e.g., Auto Switching, Active Unit and Alarm of Inactive Unit.

  • The Switch Behavior section contains the Auto Switching Behavior and Reactivation Delay Time information and configuration.

  • System Information displays the system's Date and Time, Software Version and Serial Number.

  • In the Status section, you can find the main status and configuration of the device:

    • Active Unit: Displays the selected unit and also allows you to change the setting.
    • Unit A Status and Unit B Status: Displays whether any alarm from unit A or B has been detected by the redundancy switch.
    • PSU1 Status: Displays whether the output power of PSU1 is within the valid range.
    • PSU2 Status: Displays the status of power supply 2. The PSU2 can be operational with output power within the valid range or have the state "inactive". The output power can also be outside of the valid range, in which case this is indicated with an alarm condition or the inactive state.
    • Controller Status: Displays whether the controller is operating normally or if there is any active alarm.
    • Alarm Status: Shows whether the alarm status is enabled.
    • Command Forwarding: Allows you to enable or disable command forwarding for both units.
    • Front Panel Lock State: Allows you to lock or unlock the front panel of the switch.

  • The Network Settings section allows you to monitor the configuration of the network, e.g., IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and TCP Port.
