CLO-10 Link Optimizer Revision 1
Redundant System Operation MN/CLO-10.IOM
There will be no switchover if the Redundant Unit is faulted. Ensure that the Holdoff times are long
enough (default = 10 seconds) for the Redundant Unit to be configured and to lock onto the signal.
To set the Backup Holdoff Period :
Step Procedure
1 Go to the CONFIG Æ MISC Æ REDUNDANCY Æ HOLDOFFS menu.
2 Change the BACKUP HOLDOFF to any number in the range of 1 to 99 seconds.
NOTE: The menu options available under REDUNDANCY automatically adjust to the
configured presence of a CLO-10-1 or CLO-10-2 unit.
A.6.4.1.3 Set Restore Holdoff Period
The "Restore Holdoff" setting, which is also programmable from 1 to 99 seconds, determines the
Redundant Unit's ability to automatically put a backed-up Traffic Unit online again if its fault
clears.
Normally, a failed unit that was taken offline will remain offline indefinitely. If the fault clears,
traffic will be returned to the unit (in
AUTO-ON (automatic operation) mode) only if another
Traffic Unit then fails.
If the fault on the originally failed unit has been clear for the full programmed Restore Holdoff time,
the Redundant Unit places that Traffic Unit back online, and bridges the newly faulted Traffic Unit.
If the new fault is sustained, the Redundant Unit can then be used to backup the newly faulted
Traffic Unit.
To set the
Restore Holdoff Period :
Step Procedure
1 Go to the CONFIG Æ MISC Æ REDUNDANCY Æ HOLDOFFS menu.
2 Change the RESTORE HOLDOFF to any number in the range of 1 to 99 seconds.
NOTE: The menu options available under REDUNDANCY automatically adjust to
the configured presence of a CLO-10-1 or CLO-10-2 unit.
