The L-IP Router Redundant is based on the standard L-IP router and adds functionality, which allows to build a redundant network infrastructure. The L-IP Router Redundant can be used as a single device to achieve redundancy on the CEA-709 (TP/FT-10) channel by building a ring structure.

Full redundancy on both the IP channel and the CEA-709 channel as well as device redundany can be achieved using two devices in parallel (Twin Mode). In addition, the L-IP Redundant monitors the nodes on the TP/FT-10 channel and creates an alarm in case of a failure. An integrated broken cable detection algorithm helps to locate the point of failure immediately. The L-IP Router Redundant only supports the “Configured Router Mode”.

Added Features compared to the standard L-IP:

• Detection of broken cable (TP/FT-10 channel)
• Indicates where cable is broken
• Full redundancy with two L-IP Redundant devices in Twin Mode (IP-Cannel and TP/FT-10 channel)
• Device redundancy by mutual monitoring of L-IP Redundant devices in Twin Mode
• Communication on the TP/FT-10 channel is guaranteed in case of a single cable break
• Nodes on the TP/FT-10 channel can be monitored
• Messages and alarms are presented via LonMark SNVTs
• Supports Configured Router Mode only
• Monitors network health (bandwidth utilization, error rate, etc.)
