Setting the power redundancy check
function (DA-6400dp only)
The DA-6400dp has two power supply circuits to allow
redundant power, which can prevent problems caused by power
supply issues.
When shipped new from the factory, the power redundancy
check function is set to ON. To use this function, connect each
circuit to a different power supply.
When the power redundancy check function is ON, if the unit
determines that one power supply connection has been inter-
rupted, the INFO indicator will light red.
To disable the power supply redundancy check function, select
the
