Primary and Secondary Redundancy Configuration
To use a Primary and Secondary redundancy configuration in your frame
you must have the following hardware in place:
•
A GeckoFlex module with an 8900GEN-SM submodule installed in
slot 1 of the frame. This host module must be jumpered to output Frame
Bus 1 (Primary Reference).
•
A GeckoFlex module with an 8900GEN-SM submodule installed in
slot 3 of the frame. This host module must be jumpered to output Frame
Bus 2 (Secondary Reference).
•
At least one other GeckoFlex module with frame sync capability in any
of the other frame slots to set up and test the redundancy configuration.
For this example, we will use an 8985FS module installed in slot 10.
Web Page Configuration
Follow the procedure below to set up a Primary and Secondary redundant
configuration with the web page controls. Some controls are also available
using the Newton control panel.
This example uses 8985FSP + GEN modules. Other GeckoFlex modules
with this capability will be very similar. Be sure to consult the host module
instruction manual for other updated pertinent information and specific
configuration information for that module.
Note
For these initial steps, input video is not connected to the modules in slot 1
and slot 3. This can be done later when the redundancy is working correctly.
