Using Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery

The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows EDS-726 to return to normal operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery time is on the order of a few milliseconds (compare this with standard commercial switches for which the recovery time could be on 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 below.

Using Set Device IP

To reduce the effort required to set up IP addresses, the EDS-726 series comes equipped with DHCP/BootP server and RARP protocol to set up IP addresses of Ethernet-enabled devices automatically.

When enabled, the Set device IP function allows EDS-726 to assign specific IP addresses automatically to connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In effect, EDS-726 acts as a DHCP server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address stored in its internal memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or rebooted, EDS-726 sends the device the desired IP address.

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