Dual Output EL Switch on loss of all output interfaces

May 2424

Introduction

Okay, it's a long title, but what does it mean? If we look at the nCompass map below, we can see that the Encoders are outputting, but only a single interface is show, even though we are outputting on two interfaces (eno3 and eno4)

when using dual outputs, if either output fails, we get a Critical Alarm. This means that the second encoder will take over, even though we still have a valid output from one of the output interfaces on the first encoder.
