4.3

Taking Over a Failed Host

You can designate a computer running Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 as a redundant host for another one. Oncethe supported host fails, this redundant host will take over all its LAN stations.
NOTE• Only LAN stations (m320-based) can be taken over by the redundant host;USB stations (m300 / m302-based) cannot.
• You must install the drivers and utility of LAN stations for a redundant host.
For detailed instructions, please refer to section “3.2 Installing Drivers and the Utility”
on page 19.
• Once the supported host recovers, it will automatically take over all LAN stations
assigned to it. Users will be disconnected from their sessions if any on the
redundant host.

To designate a redundant host for another one, please do the following:
1. Log in to the planned redundant host with an administrative account, launch MultiPoint Manager, and thenclick LAN Stations tab.

NOTE
• Ensure that the drivers and utility for LAN stations are installed on this redundant
host. Otherwise, LAN Stations tab won’t appear on MultiPoint Manager.

2. On LAN Stations tab, click Failover by host.

Serving Orphaned LAN Stations

You can designate a computer running Windows MultiPoint Server 2012 as a redundant host for m320-based
LAN stations. Once their host fails, this redundant host will take over all orphaned stations.
NOTE• Only LAN stations (m320-based) can be taken over by the redundant host;USB stations (m300 / m302-based) cannot.
• You must install the drivers and utility of LAN stations for a redundant host.
For detailed instructions, please refer to section “3.2 Installing Drivers and the Utility”
on page 19.
• Once their host recovers, LAN stations will be taken over again automatically.
Users will be disconnected from their sessions if any on the redundant host.

To designate a redundant host for LAN stations, please do the following:
1. Log in to the planned redundant host with an administrative account, launch MultiPoint Manager, and thenclick LAN Stations tab.
NOTE
• Ensure that the drivers and utility for LAN stations are installed on this redundant
host. Otherwise, LAN Stations tab won’t appear on MultiPoint Manager.

2. On LAN Stations tab, click Failover by station.

Adjusting Network Settings for a LAN Station

For your LAN station to be managed by a host server and ready for use, an IP address assigned to the station isrequired. Normally, your Atrust m320 will perform network environment detection and choose an appropriate
IP address automatically. In case that you need to adjust the network configuration for your m320, refer to thetable below as guidelines on manual adjustment. Depending on different physical connections (see “2.2 Getting
Connected” on page 13), you need to select different methods to assign the IP address.
Two Methods for Assigning an IP Address to a LAN Station
Physical Connection
Method for LAN station

Description

IP Assignment Method

Method 1

connect m320 to your local network throughthe same Gigabit switch as the host server

automatically assign an IP address by
the DHCP server over your local network

Method 2

connect m320 to your local network
indirectly through the host server

manually assign an IP address

NOTE• Only the network settings of a free LAN station can be adjusted.

Assigning an IP address automatically by the DHCP server
To assign an IP address automatically by the DHCP server for a LAN station, please do the following:
NOTE• Ensure that your LAN station uses the method 1. See the description and related

in above case) and subnet mask information for the host server’s LAN port
which is used to connect a Gigabit switch and your LAN station (the other LAN
port is connected to your local network).
6. You could then assign your LAN stations an IP address in sequence,for example, w.x.y.z+1, w.x.y.z+2, w.x.y.z+3, etc.
