7.7 Configuring Switch Redundancy

The WS2000 Wireless Switch supports redundancy between two WS2000 Wireless Switch, allowing a
standby switch to take over if the primary switch stop responding. Use the WS2000 Redundancy settings to
configure the Operational State and Redundancy Mode for the switch.

7.7.1 Setting Up Switch Redundancy

For each of the two switches, use the following procedure to set up redundancy.
1. Choose the redundancy mode in which the WS2000 Wireless Switch will operate in.

2. When redundancy is selected as the operational state, specify whether the current switch is the primary
or standby switch by selecting the appropriate
3. When redundancy is selected as the operational state, in the
amount of time between heartbeat packets being sent or received between the two switches.
4. When redundancy is selected as the operational state, in the
time after not receiving a heartbeat packet before the standby switch will take over.
5. When redundancy is selected as the operational state, check the
system standby on the redundant switches.

The switch has no redundancy capabilities and operates independently of any other WS2000
switches on the network. This is the default setting.
Two WS2000 switches are connected, with one set as a primary and the other as a standby. The
primary switch will send heartbeat packets to the specified port of the standby switch at a
specified interval. If the standby switch doesn't receive a heartbeat packet in a specified amount
of time, it will take over as the primary switch.
