Featured Functions |
Decide appropriate coupling ports in each switch and link them together. Next, assign one switch (e.g., Switch A) as coupler and set the proper coupling control port with another switch (e.g., Switch B) in the same Turbo Ring, and then connect them.
Consequently, the Coupler switch (e.g., Switch A) will monitor switch B through the coupling control port to decide whether or not the coupling port’s backup path should be recovered.
ATTENTION
The user only needs to enable the Ring Coupling function on one EDS (not on the opposing EDS or an adjacent EDS). The Redundant Port, Coupling Port, and Coupling Control Port must all be assigned to different ports.
NOTE | Ring Coupling and Ring Master do not need to be set up on the same EDS. |

Configuring Turbo Ring
Use the Communication Redundancy page to configure Turbo Ring.
| Now Active |
| This shows the communication protocol in use: Turbo Ring, RSTP, or none. |
| Master/Slave |
| This field appears only when selected to operate in Turbo Ring mode. It indicates if this EDS is |
| the Master of the Turbo Ring or not. |
|
|
NOTE | The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring, only to assign which segment serves |
| as the backup path. |
| The master will be determined automatically if the user does not set a dedicated master for the |
| Turbo Ring. |
