A.3.1.1 1:1 Redundant System Setup (Using a Single Ethernet Interface)
See Chapter 5. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT for detailed
information about the remote commands and queries specified in this section.
To set up a 1:1 Redundancy System using a single Ethernet interface, do these steps:
Step Task
1 Turn both units off, and then connect them to the redundant system hardware using the proper cables.
2 Turn on Unit #2, and change its serial remote address from 1 (factory default) to a valid unique value
(typically 2) so that it does not conflict with any other unit in the system.
3 Change Unit #2’s IP address from the factory default (192.168.1.4/24) to a valid unique value (typically
192.168.1.3/24) so that it does not conflict with any other unit in the system.
4 Enable redundant mode by setting the ESW serial remote command (ESW=1). The waveguide switch /
switches throw may be heard when redundant mode is enabled. Unit #2 is now the online unit.
5 Turn on Unit #1.
6 Change Unit #1’s serial remote address / IP address if necessary (typically the factory default values are
correct).
7 Enable redundant mode by setting the ESW command (ESW=1). The waveguide switch / switches throw
may be heard when redundant mode is enabled. Unit #1 is now the online unit.
8 Set up all parameters for Unit #1 so that the configuration can be copied to Unit #2 (AMP, MUT, ATT, etc.).
