Setting up a failover hub

A failover hub backs up the functionality of a primary hub. A node (device), that cannot connect to the primary hub due to hub failure or maintenance, connects instead to the failover hub. When the primary hub comes online again, the node automatically switches back to the primary hub.
Prerequisites: You are working in Workbench connected to hub station.
  1. To locate the failover Property Sheet, in the Nav tree expand Config > Drivers > BacnetNetwork > BacnetComm > Network > ScHubPort > Hub Connector and double-click Failover Connection.
    The Failover Connection Property Sheet opens.

  2. Set the Enabled property to true.
  3. Enter a value for Hub Uri Address and click Save.
    This activates the Failover Connection, which takes over automatically if the primary connection fails.
