NOTE

The DIP 1 setting will only be active if DIP 3 is in the ON position. If you set DIP 3 to OFF, then

 

 

the default Ring Coupling port will NOT be enabled, even if DIP 1 is ON.

NOTE

The Turbo Ring Ports and Coupling Ports will be added automatically to all VLANs if you set

 

 

DIP Switch 4 to the “ON” position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

If you do not enable any of the EDS-408A/405A switches to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring

 

 

protocol will automatically choose the EDS-408A/405A with the smallest MAC address range to

 

 

be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one EDS-408A/405A to be the Ring

 

 

Master, these EDS-408A/405A switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be the

 

 

Ring Master.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE

If you use the browser interface to enable the DIP switches (by un-checking the “Disable the

 

 

Turbo Ring DIP switch” checkbox), and then flip DIP switch 4 from ON to OFF, the Ring Ports

 

 

and Coupling Ports that were added to all VLANs will be restored to their previous software

 

 

settings. (For details, please refer to the “Using Virtual LANs” section of this manual).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

System File Update—By Remote TFTP

The EDS supports saving your configuration file to a remote TFTP server or local host to allow other EDS switches to use the same configuration at a later time, or saving the Log file for future reference. Loading pre-saved firmware or a configuration file from the TFTP server or local host is also supported for easy upgrading or configuration of the EDS.

405A SERIES, EDS-408A specifications

Moxa Technologies has established itself as a leader in networking solutions, particularly for industrial applications. Among their cutting-edge products is the 405A Series, specifically the EDS-408A model, which exemplifies Moxa's commitment to performance, reliability, and versatility in industrial Ethernet switches.

The EDS-408A is an 8-port industrial Ethernet switch that offers an impressive array of features and capabilities designed to meet the demands of harsh environments. One of its main highlights is the ability to support both 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections, providing users with the flexibility to integrate a range of devices within their network. Its robust design ensures that it operates seamlessly in extreme conditions, with a wide operating temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees Celsius.

The EDS-408A is built to support an array of networking topologies. It features advanced Ethernet switching technologies that enable fast and efficient data transfer while minimizing latency. The device is equipped with wire-speed forwarding capabilities, which is vital for maintaining high performance in heavy network traffic scenarios.

Another key feature of the EDS-408A is its redundancy support. The switch incorporates various redundancy protocols, including Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol), which enhance network reliability by allowing quick recovery in the event of a failure. This ensures continuous network uptime, which is critical for industrial applications.

Furthermore, Moxa Technologies has adopted an user-friendly web-based management interface in the EDS-408A, simplifying the configuration and monitoring process. This allows system administrators to easily manage settings, monitor traffic, and troubleshoot issues in real time. Additionally, the switch supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote monitoring and management, enabling organizations to keep their networks optimized.

Security is another paramount feature of the EDS-408A. It includes built-in security mechanisms such as port security, VLAN, and access control lists (ACLs), which help safeguard sensitive network segments from unauthorized access.

In conclusion, Moxa Technologies' EDS-408A model from the 405A Series is a robust and feature-rich industrial Ethernet switch designed for demanding environments. With its support for various network protocols, redundancy features, user-friendly management, and enhanced security, the EDS-408A stands out as a reliable solution for organizations looking to enhance their industrial networking capabilities.
