Article Summary

Note:
Before starting configuration, a new module instance must be created. Click here for more information about creating Module instances.

Each module has an API and Logger section that need to be configured separately. The default settings will be sufficient for this, but users will need to actively open the API and Logger configuration settings and save the default values to fully apply the settings. Click here for more information about API and Logger Configuration.
Note:
Please note that starting from N3uron version 1.21.5, the API section has been completely removed from the configuration options.

Connection Setup

Figure 5- Connection CreationFigure 1. Connection creation

The Redundancy Agent module allows for unlimited redundant connections. As shown in the above image, new connections can be created by clicking on the burger menu icon. Each couple of redundant connections to the corresponding pair of Hosts/Devices is named Connection. See below for the steps required when connecting N3uron to a primary and backup pair.

  • Enabled: Enables or disables communication to redundant Hosts.
  • Incoming connections
    • TCP Port: Specifies the TCP port to listen to. The valid range is 1 to 65535.
      Note:
      Make sure the port is not used by any other applications on the same machine.

  • Network interface: Specifies the network interface to be used.
    • All interfaces: The server listens to all the network interfaces available on the host machine.
    • Only localhost: The server only listens to local connections.
      Note:
      It is also possible to use a custom IP address corresponding to a specific network interface.

  • Primary connection
    • Auto-reconnect: If Enabled, the Redundancy Agent will automatically promote communications back to the primary host when available. Otherwise, the Redundancy Agent will maintain the connection to the backup host and only switch to the primary one when the backup host fails.
    • Host: Specifies the IP address of the primary host. 
    • TCP Port: Specifies the port to connect to for the primary host. The valid range is 1 to 65535
  • Backup Connection
    • Host : Specifies the IP address of the backup host.
    • TCP Port: Specifies the port to connect to for the backup host. The valid range is 1 to 65535
