To commission encoders without DNS
1. Connect one encoder to each subnet. Use the web interface for the encoder to
configure the IP address of the Visionline server; see chapter 7 for details.
Note: This is only needed for the first encoder for each subnet, since the other
encoders on the same subnet will retrieve the server IP address from the first
one by announcement broadcast.
2. Continue adding encoders. They will automatically obtain the IP address
of the Visionline server from the encoders on the same subnet that are already
online with the server.
To switch to backup server
Single server - to switch to backup server with DNS
1. Change the IP address of the timeloxserver entry in the DNS so it points to
the backup server. The encoders will then connect to the backup server if
the connection to the primary server is lost and cannot be re-established.
Multiple servers - to switch to backup server with DNS
1. For the concerned Visionline server, change the IP adress of the system name
entry in the DNS so it points to the backup server. The encoders will then
connect to the backup server if the connection to the primary server is lost and
cannot be re-established.
To switch to backup server without DNS
1. Remove the primary server from the network.
2. Assign the IP address of the primary server to the backup server
OR
Enter the IP address of the backup server in the web interface for one encoder
per subnet. Note: It will take one hour after the primary server closes its
sockets until the rest of the encoders enable their announcement broadcast.
