Designed for large systems that can�t afford to experience a moment of downtime, the MXnet 1G Control Box helps keep the network operating 24/7. An RJ45, RS-232 communication interface monitors "heartbeat" signals from the control box, while pre-installed Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol software facilitates the failover process. The Standby box assumes the active IP address if a temporary or permanent event occurs to the Main CBOX. Acting as the system control component for the MXnet 1G ecosystem, this control box is responsible for setup, control, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and endpoint updating.
