Redundancy Overview

The MCR300-1T-2S provides rapid fiber redundancy of link for highly critical Ethernet applications. The redundant-mode supports

auto-recover function. If the destination port of a packet is link down, it forwards the packet to the other port of the backup pair. The

following figure shows the redundant function.

Link status auto detect and redundant on Dual ports with same connector type.

Only Primary-Port is active at a time, the Backup-Port is blocked.

While Primary-Port link fail occur, the traffic swap to Backup-Port automatically.

Once the Primary-Port status back to link up, the traffic swap from Backup-Port to Primary-Port.
