secondary then to primary while the system searches for a viable link. The system will continue
“toggling” between primary and secondary until it finds a viable link.
Command syntax: get/set redundancy override [primary | secondary| manual | auto | none]
Redundancy state switch
When the redundancy override is set to “manual” or “auto”, you can toggle between both Horizon
redundancy states by issuing the redundancy state switch command. There is only one choice, that being
“on”. Repeating the command gives the toggling action.
If this command is issued, then the active link will become the stand-by link, or vice-versa. For 1-wire
configuration, this command must be issued on the primary unit, and only issued at one end of the link.
Command syntax: set redundancy state switch on
Redundancy enet state switch
This option is more applicable to the 2-wire configuration. Enet state determines the action of the
Ethernet port on the inactive unit, as seen on the Ethernet switch.
“On” means that the Ethernet Link will remain in the “on” state even if a failure occurs.
“Off” means that the Ethernet Link will turn “off” when a failure occurs, resulting in the Ethernet switch
seeing the equivalent condition of the Ethernet cable being disconnected.
“Pulse” means that the Horizon Compact P1 Payload ports will “pulse” or “toggle” quickly from one port to
the other in order to speed up the Ethernet switch switching algorithm. Both P1 Payload ports will pulse
very rapidly and the switch will interpret this pulsing and react by accelerating its algorithm to determine
the link over which to send the data traffic.
Command syntax: get/set redundancy secondary enet state [on | off | pulse]
Redundancy link monitor parameters
The Horizon redundancy system needs to know how long a stand-by unit should wait when its active
partner is beginning to fail, before it takes over the traffic. The redundancy link monitor parameters
provide this information.
Command syntax: get/set redundancy link monitor parameters [values]
Redundancy link switch parameters
When a system is in the process of switching from active to stand-by, the time that the system needs to
wait, to confirm if the stand-by unit can establish a link, before switching, is provided by the redundancy
link switch parameters.
Command syntax: get/set redundancy link switch parameters [values]
Redundancy status
The status (active, stand-by, link up/down) of the primary and secondary Horizon units can be determined
with this command.
Command syntax: get redundancy status
Redundancy partner information
Information about the peer, or partner, Horizon can be obtained by issuing this command.
Command syntax: get redundancy partner information
