Initial Setup

1. Select any two ports as redundant ports.

2. Connect the redundant ports to form the Turbo Ring

You do not need to set the Master to use Turbo Ring. Master is only needed to identify which segment acts as the backup path. The actual topology of the redundant ring, i.e., which segment will be blocked, is determined by the number of EDS-518A switches that make up the ring, and where the “Ring Master” is located.

When the number of EDS-518A units in the Turbo Ring is even.

Master

If there are 2N EDS-518A units (an even number) in the Turbo Ring, then the backup segment is one of the two segments connected to the (N+1)st EDS-518A (i.e., the EDS-518A unit directly opposite the Master).
