2.9 REDUNDANT IPDP SERIAL LINK
The IPDirector communicates with the XT3 server via one serial link. If that link
fails, the XT3 server can no longer be controlled by any IPDirector.
A failover mechanism has been put into place: it switches the IPDirector link from
one port of an XT3 server to another port on another XT3 server.
To ensure the failover, the backup links between IPDirector workstations and the
XT3 servers need to be physically cabled to a second RS422 port, as shown on
the following schema:
The serial link redundancy will ensure that there is no single point of failure in the
setup. However, you need to put into place a thoroughly thought through IPDP
configuration for the SynchroDB to continue working correctly. This can be
achieved, for example, by defining an IPDirector workstation in Network mode.
