Configuring the Network
Step 4. When you are ready to initiate the peer relationship and start the data synchronization process,
check the
Enable Redundancy checkbox on the Primary Access Control Server (and Save). You
only need to configure and enable redundancy on the primary Access Control Server to make the
relationship active.
Note: Once the redundant peer relationship is active, the configuration on the secondary Access
Control Server is overwritten by the configuration of the primary Access Control Server. It is
recommended that you back up the second Access Control Server before you initiate the peer
relationship.
Once redundancy is operational, refreshing the browser window changes the Access Control Server label
at the upper right of the Header bar to indicate whether the Access Control Server is acting as a primary
or secondary Access Control Server.
When running the Administrative Console on the primary Access Control Server, the label in the Header
bar will show “Primary Access Control Server”.
When running the Administrative Console on the secondary Access Control Server, the Header bar label
shows “Secondary Access Control Server”, and the word “secondary” appears in large letters in the
center of the Header bar, as shown in
Figure 6-7.

The Secondary Access Control Server
A secondary Access Control Server does not support a full set of configuration capabilities. Only minimal
network configuration and maintenance functions (such as software update, backup and restore) are
allowed. The Rights and VPN functions are not available at all from a secondary Access Control Server
Administrative Console. Within the remaining functions, the following capabilities are supported:
• Under
Status, the Equipment Status tab is available, but you cannot view Client Status or Session
Status.
