Required Action Steps
Redundancy link monitor
parameters
The Horizon redundancy system needs to know how long a stand-by
unit should wait, when its active partner is failing, before it takes over
the traffic. The parameters are different for 1-wire and 2-wire
applications, with the primary and secondary units of a 2-wire
application also having different values. The example parameter
values shown below are recommended for effective switching and
need to be configured at each end of the link. For 1-Wire applications
only the primary horizon units have to be configured.
FOR A PRIMARY UNIT ONLY-
Sequence:
set redundancy link monitor parameters [Type index]
[parameters]
Where [Type index] = 1 for 1-Wire Primary unit
3 for 2-Wire Primary unit
4 for 2-Wire Secondary unit
and [parameters] are recommended values shown in the example
below:
Example
set redundancy link monitor parameters
1 3 100 4 4 1000 500 500 100 50 press Enter
The system responds:
Link Monitor Values: 3 100 4 4 1000 500 500 100 50
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. The parameters are different for 1-wire and 2-
wire applications. The example parameter values shown below are
recommended for effective switching and need to be configured at
each end of the link. For 1-Wire applications only the primary horizon
units have to be configured.
FOR A PRIMARY UNIT ONLY-
Sequence, with recommended values:
set redundancy link switch parameters
900 900 70 600 600 70 press Enter
The system responds:
Redundancy Link switch parameters values: 900 900 70 600 600 70
