Aging Time

The 604/608MFX monitors the age of the addresses it has learnt, and addresses that exceed a certain age (aging time, default setting = 40 sec), are deleted again by the switch. If a packet with a source address matching the address entry is received before the aging time elapses, the address entry is retained, and the age is reset. If a packet is received and there is no address entry for the source address, it is learnt. If a packet is received and there is no address entry for the destination address, it is sent to all ports.

IEEE 802.1Q, VLAN

The 600 Series switches do not support VLAN tags according to IEEE 802.1Q. Users must configure their networks so that no VLAN packets are sent.

IEEE 802.1P, QOS

The 600 Series does support QOS. Users should configure their networks such that no packets with a priority tag higher than 3 are transmitted since these packets can influence redundancy functions (for example, longer switchover times if a fault develops, or false fault detection).

Two-Pin Dip Switch Setting

With the two-pin DIP switch on the upper casing of the 604/608MFX, you can do the following:

With the Stby button, you can activate the standby function of the device (608 only). This switch is not connected in the 604MFX.

With the RM switch, you can activate the redundancy manager function of the device.

Note: The switch must be restarted after changing the DIP switch Settings. The switch settings are only adopted when the device powers Up.
