If the primary goes offline for any reason, the backup will automatically takeover as the master if
backup auto switch has been enabled, see Backup AutomaticallyTakes Control (on page480).
Whenever master control changes between the primary and the backup, there will be a dialog win-
dow that will be displayed that must be dismissed by the user.

be dismissed after a short period of time. The device status above the CIA will also change.
Note: A backup may take up to 5 seconds to determine that connection with the master
has been lost. This timing can be adjusted based on network type selected in the ECU. See
NetworkType(on page457)for more information.
