FLOAT BACKUP ENABLE <fbe>
FIGURE 25: FLOAT BACKUP ENABLED 1
No: 1 – Lists number of units connected (in this case 1)
MAC_ADDRESS:– Displaying all the MAC addresses of the units connected on the ring/bus
FLOAT_BACKUP: Enable – Displays all the units connected to the ring/bus having Float
Backup enabled.
SETTING_RESULT: OK – Displays the Float Backup enable has been successfully
implemented.
<-local: This points to the unit that the USB cable is plugged into on the ring/bus.
The link furthest from the Master unit in a ring configuration is automatically selected as the
backup branch. In the case of even units on a ring the fiber link on port 5 will always be the
backup branch – indicated by a dashed line on a ring topology.
FIGURE 26: RING TOPOLOGY
In Figure 26, node 1 will communicate with node 2, node 3 and node 4 via node 3. Node 2 will
communicate to node 4 only via node 1 and 3.
In the event of a fiber link being broken or disconnected (indicated by a cross) the backup
branch will become the active branch. If the link between node 1 and 3 is broken (see Figure
27), node 1 will communicate with node 3 via node 2 and node 4.
