Featured Functions

Configuring “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2”

Use the Communication Redundancy page to configure select “Turbo Ring” or “Turbo Ring V2.” Note that configuration pages for these two protocols are different.

Configuring “Turbo Ring”

 

Explanation of “Current Status” Items

 

Now Active

 

Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none.

 

Master/Slave

 

Indicates whether or not this EDS is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when

 

selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)

 

 

NOTE

The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring

 

protocol will assign master status to one of the EDS units in the ring. The master is only used to

 

determine which segment serves as the backup path.

 

 

 

Redundant Ports Status (1st Port, 2nd Port)

 

Ring Coupling Ports Status (Coupling Port, Coupling Control Port)

 

The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if this port is

 

connected to a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
