Network Redundancy

Description

Certain nnounce devices are equipped with two LAN ports and can be configured to operate in redundant network mode for increased reliability:

• micnode 2h & 2g microphone stations as well as for

• ionode 4 audio integration platform and

• ampnode 4 amplifier.

Redundancy can be used for TCP socket and WebSocket plugin connection types.

Important

These redundant networks must be configured on separate VLANs, as both interfaces share the same MAC address.

Q-SYS Plugin operation in redundancy:

• Devices are addressed by hostname, with mDNS used to resolve IP addresses.

• IP addresses for LAN A and LAN B must be defined in the Audio Streams configuration.

• The WebSocket connection is initially established on one network. If that network becomes unavailable, the plugin will automatically switch to the second network.

Redundancy operation information:

• Live calls are terminated if an abrupt network swich occurs between LAN A and LAN B.

• The UCI (User Control Interface) will reload automatically within approximatelly 30 seconds after a network switch.
