Connect to Both Customer Ports on the Library Controller for Redundancy

Connect each customer port to a separate switch.

If using dual TCP/IP, connect each customer port to a physically separate, non-stacked switch. Connecting both customer ports to a single physical switch or single logical switch may cause the customer network ports to stop functioning.

The following diagram shows an example configuration where the "customer workstation" could be a system running a browser to connect to the library GUI or a server running an application that directly uses the SCI interface to control the library.
