ENOTE 0056 – Configuring FieldServer for Hot Standby Mode 1

The only files you will need are HSB_P.ini and HSB_S.ini, there is no config.csv file change required.

HSB_P.ini only needs the following lines of code:

HSB_S.ini will have the same lines of code except the HS_Designation field will be Secondary.

To set up Hot Standby Mode 1:

1. Download HSB_P.ini to the Primary FieldServer and HSB_S.ini to the Secondary FieldServer. Ensure the local and remote file names match.
2. After restarting the FieldServers, the Primary will display a solid Yellow Active LED.
3. Verify by checking Ruinet's error screen for "System -> Hot Standby (ETH): This Bridge now ACTIVE."
4. Test by disconnecting power from the Primary; the Secondary's Active LED will turn solid Yellow, indicating activation.
5. Reconnect the Primary's power to regain control.
