6.3.2.2. Redundancy
The ProView 2900 IP front end supports both physical link and logical source redundancy.
The physical link and logical source are coupled, i.e. switching from one physical link to the
other (in the case of a link redundancy event) forces switching from the corresponding logical
source to the other. In the case of a logical source redundancy event, the physical links are
switched as well.
• Link Redundancy: protects the directly connected switch/router and the physical cable
connection. There are two IP physical links to the ProView 2900: MPEGoIP IN1 and
.MPEGoIP IN2.
• Source Redundancy: protects the transport stream source (encoder/streamer). Two
logical sources (i.e. sockets), containing identical streams, must be configured to enable
Source redundancy.
6.3.2.3. Redundancy Event
A redundancy event causes the ProView 2900 to switch from the active Physical Link and
Logical Source to the passive ones.
The device identifies a redundancy event when all the following conditions apply:
• Redundancy mode is enabled
• Active physical link failure (through PHY indication) or active logical source failure
detection (no stream is being received for a preconfigured Redundancy Delay time [see
next page)
• Passive physical link is configured, up, and connected
• Passive logical source is configured and connected
The following menu is used for enabling or disabling the operation of the redundancy feature.

The available options are:
• ENABLE – enables redundancy; when a redundancy event occurs the physical link and
logical source switch to passive ones
• DISABLE - disables redundancy
6.3.2.4. Redundancy Delay
The Redundancy delay menu is used for setting the time delay, which defines a redundancy
event.
