I just purchased a second license so I can use your fail over function in 7.7 should my network connection fail to my server. Have you created a procedure on how to install this on the local host? I only have a fixed amount of time that I can have this machine down and would like to make it happen with minimal yelling… at me.

Thanks for your help.

There shouldn’t be any downtime involved, you just need to install Ignition on that machine, switch it into local fallback mode, and then make sure there’s a project on there to fallback to. None of this requires that you shutdown the main gateway or the client running on that machine.

See [inductiveautomation.com/support … llback.htm](https://inductiveautomation.com/support/usermanuals/ignition/index.html?local_client_fallback.htm)

Thanks much. I will implement this tomorrow.
