The redundancy manager functions as an intelligent switch:<br />

• It sends test frames to both ring connection points.<br />

<strong>Configuring</strong> IRT <strong>Communication</strong><br />

• If the ring is still closed <strong>and</strong> functioning correctly, these frames are received<br />

again at the respective other sides.<br />

If no test frames arrive within a time interval, the manager lets TCP/IP frames<br />

through again. In this way, a communications path for TCP/IP frames, which had<br />

been previously interrupted for the reason cited above, is created again. If the ring<br />

opens, the redundancy manager generates a redundancy interrupt.<br />

Note<br />

Enabling media-redundant transmission will increase the communications load<br />

since the data now have to be transmitted twice over two pathways.<br />
