Moxa Technologies EDS-408A How to Configure the Turbo Ring DIP Switches, 3-11, Featured Functions

EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual		Featured Functions
NOTE	If you upgrade the firmware of your EDS from Turbo Ring to Turbo Ring V2, but do not reset the

switch to factory defaults, the DIP switches will be set to configure the EDS for a “Turbo Ring” ring. If you reset the switch to factory defaults, the DIP switches will be set to configure the EDS for a “Turbo Ring V2” ring.

How to Configure the Turbo Ring DIP Switches

The Turbo Ring DIP Switches are set to the OFF position at the factory.

NOTE	The four DIP Switches are used to configure both the “Turbo Ring”
	and “Turbo Ring V2” protocols, depending on which protocol is
	active. To select which protocol the EDS will use, start the user
	interface software, and then use the left menu to navigate to the
	Communication Redundancy page. To use one of the Turbo Ring
	protocols for the EDS, select either “Turbo Ring” or “Turbo Ring V2”
	in the Redundancy Protocol drop-down box. See the Configuring
	“Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2” section in this chapter for
	details.
