Introduction
Redundancy is an important issue for industrial networks, and various types of solutions have been developed to provide alternative network paths when equipment or software failures occur. "Watchdog" hardware is installed to utilize redundant hardware, and a "Token"- switching software mechanism is applied. The CN2600 terminal server uses its built-in Dual-LAN ports to implement a "Redundant COM" mode that keeps your applications running uninterrupted.
Dual-LAN Redundancy
The CN2600 has two separate LAN ports that can be connected to separate LAN networks. Dual-LAN redundancy involves setting up two separate physical networks to connect the PC host with the CN2600 (the PC host also requires two LAN cards). If one connection fails, the PC host can still communicate with your serial devices over the alternative LAN connection.
