Moxa Technologies EDS-405A How to Enable or Disable the Turbo Ring DIP Switches, 3-10, Setting

EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual		Featured Functions
NOTE	The proprietary “Turbo Ring” protocol (recovery time < 300 ms) was developed by Moxa in

2003 to provide better network reliability and faster recovery time for redundant ring topologies. The “Turbo Ring V2” protocol (recovery time < 20 ms), which was released in 2007, supports additional redundant ring architectures.

In this manual, we use the terminology “Turbo Ring” ring and “Turbo Ring V2” ring to differentiate between rings configured for one or the other of these protocols.

For a detailed description of “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2,” please refer to the Using Communication Redundancy section later in this chapter.
