Backup Port Control Menu
Select Backup Port Control from the Port Configuration screen to define
up to 15 master/slave port pairs. If the connection to the master port fails,
the slave port will automatically take over. For greater reliability, primary
and secondary ports should be located on different hubs. The following
screen and table show how to specify and activate port backup pairs.
