* When a redundant CPU is configured, a client should connect to both LAN ports (PC-LAN CPU1 and
PC-LAN CPU2) and send commands to the ports respectively. When the system functions normally, the
secondary port (PC-LAN CPU2) do not respond to commands. But if an error occurs in the CPU1 system,
the secondary port will take over the primary port and repond to commands.
