Using Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery

The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows MOXA EtherDevice Switch to return to normal operation very quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery time is in the order of a few milliseconds. Compare this with standard commercial switches for which the recovery time could be in the order of several minutes. To disable the Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, or to re-enable the function after it has already been disabled, access either the Console utility’s Line-Swap recovery page, or the Web Browser interface’s Line-Swap fast recovery page, as shown next.

Using Set Device IP

To reduce the effort required to set up IP addresses, the EDS-408A/405A series comes equipped with DHCP/BootP server and RARP protocol to automatically set up IP addresses of Ethernet-enabled devices.

When enabled, the Set device IP function allows MOXA EtherDevice Switch to assign specific IP addresses automatically to connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In effect, MOXA EtherDevice Switch acts as a DHCP server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address stored in MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s internal memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or rebooted, MOXA EtherDevice Switch sends the device the desired IP address.

Take the following steps to use the Set device IP function:
