To set up Y-cable redundancy at both the local and remote sites, you configure two bundles—a master bundle and a backup bundle. Each bundle follows a different path between the two sites, as shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Y-Cable Redundancy at Both the Local and Remote Sites
When you configure Y-cable redundancy, you can use different redundant port numbers if the devices are using the same port on the 100-pin connector. For example, a Y cable 100-pin connector could be attached to ports 0-3 on the first CTP device, with the second connector attached to ports 8-11 on the second device. The redundant ports would be P0/P8, P1/P9, P2/P10, and P3/P11 on the first and second CTP devices, respectively.
Before you begin:
To configure master and backup CTP bundles for Y-cable redundancy by using CTPView:
Table 1: Y-Cable Settings in CTPView
Field | Function | Your Action |
---|---|---|
Y Cable Redundancy | Specifies whether or not a redundant Y cable is installed on the CTP device. | Select ENABLED or DISABLED. |
Y Cable Redundancy Master | Specify whether or not this bundle is the master bundle. | Select one:
