Teaming operation
The units have dual network interface ports that can be used in parallel to produce
important benets:
• Improved connection speeds up to 2 Gigabits per second, and
• Important link redundancy that can maintain operation in the event of a failed
connection.
Teaming offers immediate speed improvements in a one-to-one arrangement...
...and also in multicast installations:
FIRMWARE VERSION 3.3 (or greater)
IMPORTANT: Please read this section completely before attempting
installation or upgrades.
The basic rule for A.I.M.-controlled installations is:
If rmware version 3.3 (or greater) is to be used anywhere in an A.I.M.-controlled
AdderLink Innity installation, then it must be used everywhere.
For ALIF installations that do not use A.I.M. servers, it is possible to mix ALIF
rmware revisions, however, for best results you are recommended to upgrade all
ALIF units to v3.3 (or greater).
Important upgrade notes
• Always upgrade the A.I.M. server(s) to v3.3 (or greater) before attempting to upgrade
(or add) AdderLink Innity units at or above v3.3* – you will then be prompted to
upgrade the AdderLink Innity units.
• ALIF1002 units are only available with rmware starting at v3.3 (and cannot be
downgraded), so if you add one or more ALIF1002 units to your installation, it is
mandatory to upgrade A.I.M. to v3.3 or greater (earlier A.I.M. rmware versions have
no knowledge of the new product).
• ALIF2020 units are only available with rmware starting at v3.4 (and cannot be
downgraded), so if you add one or more ALIF2020 units to your installation, it is
mandatory to upgrade A.I.M. to v3.3 or greater (earlier A.I.M. rmware versions have
no knowledge of the new product).
• If an AdderLink Innity unit at v3.3 or greater is added, but you don’t want to upgrade
your A.I.M. server; simply upload the current rmware from your A.I.M. server to the
AdderLink Innity unit in order to downgrade it. This is not possible on ALIF1002 and/or
ALIF2020 units.
* If you add an AdderLink Innity unit at or above v3.3 to an earlier version of A.I.M.
and then upgrade A.I.M. to v3.3 or greater, the AdderLink Innity unit will not operate
after the upgrade. To rectify this, you will need to delete the record from the A.I.M.
database and factory reset the AdderLink Innity unit before it will reacquire.
