Hi Emilio,
I would not recommend using the preferred active/standby setting as it causes an unnecessary failover when the preferred active unit fails, the standby takes over and then the preferred active unit comes back online.
If you can use hardwire failover (the distance between the units is close enough), you should use hardwire failover:
