Hello.

1. I have a question about Ignition redundancy. When switching from the master Ignition to the standby Ignition, it takes about 2 minutes for the gateway to fully transition. Are there any settings that can reduce this time?

2. The transition from standby back to master is very quick, taking about 20 seconds. What is the reason for this difference?

I would appreciate your response.

You can try changing standby level to warm.

I see that I didn't mention how I set it up before asking the question. I am asking about the status after setting standby to warm.
