Redundancy, Backup & Misc.

  • Redundancy

    • Full (2N): The Primary and Redundant engine are running all the time, so for every Primary engine you need a Redundant engine.

    • Flexible (N+1): A single Redundant engine is shared between several Channels. If the Primary engine for any given Channel stops sending heartbeats to Just Connect then the floating Redundant engine will be started for the Channel. In this scenario only one Redundant engine is available and it will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, so if a second Primary engine fails, no Redundant engine would be available.

  • Backup Channel: You can define a backup folder for the Channel file which can be used to restore the Channel on another machine. Do not select an internal disk as the backup volume but an external/network connected volume so in case the internal disk fails only the original Channel file is lost and not the backup. Most customers are using an USB flash drive as backup location, so it can be moved to another machine in case the main machine fails.

  • EAS Alert: Use the Configure button to configure the connection to the DASDEC EASdevice. Simulate an alert by clicking on the Simulate Alert button which allows you to execute a previously saved EAS alert.
