Ethernet Link 
The current active port will continue to remain as active until there is a loss of link 
(cable disconnection or port shutdown on the other end) on that port.  If a link loss is 
detected, the RFGW-1 will try to make the other available port as Active. If the link is 
not present on both ports, then the last Active port will continue to remain as active 
(of course without being able to receive any input) until a link is...

If the link is not present on both ports, the last active port will continue to remain as 
active. If both the ports has connectivity but none of them is receiving any traffic, 
then the RFGW-1 continuously changes the Active port to monitor for any traffic and 
will lock to the port which receive the traffic first. 
Revert to primary is not supported when the input ports are operating in this 
detection mode.

Multicast Join on Single Port 
In this mode, the IGMP join will be sent only on the port where the stream is active. 
If the stream is not available on both the ports then the IGMP will be sent on the port 
which is currently being tried (as the stream will be toggled between both the ports). 
This is mode is useful when the user wants to restrict the unnecessary traffic being 
received. 
Multicast Join on Both Ports 
In this mode, the IGMP...

Ingress-All operation for unicast streams in Dual Port Pair mode 
When the ‘Ingress-All’ setting is enabled on the RFGW-1, the unicast streams can be 
received on either the Current Active port (virtual IP) of Pair-1 or Pair-2. If the 
unicast stream is lost on Active port of pair-1, it will get setup on Active port of pair-
2 and vice-versa. In effect, the unicast stream will have two input ports. 
For network debugging...

Treat PCR Zero Bitrate as Content Loss 
When a streams PCR PID is not available, we would treat the scenario as similar to 
content loss and initiate the input stream switch to the backup stream. The switch to 
the backup stream is initiated without checking for presence of stream on the backup 
port. The switch rules would be same as Socket Redundancy (port switching has 
higher priority over source switching) 
 The stream should have a...

Configuring Redundancy for Port Pair Mode 
1 Navigate to the System/IP Network page. 
Result: The IP Network page is displayed. 
 
2 In the Redundancy Mode field, select desired mode.  
a Auto mode enables automatic failover to backup ports 
b Manual mode forces an active port 
3 In the Primary Port field, designate which GbE inputs per port-pair will be 
assigned the primary port.

5 In the Multicast Join ports field, configure if the IGMP Joins for multicast streams 
is to be sent on Singe/Both ports. This field is applicable only when the detection 
mode is set to “Ethernet Link & UDP/L2TPv3 Packets & TS Socket”. 
6 In the LOS Timeout field, configure the failover time from the active to inactive 
port.
