Use the Communication Redundancy page to configure Turbo Ring.

 

Now Active

 

This field shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, RSTP, or neither.

 

Master/Slave

 

This field appears only when Turbo Ring mode is selected for Redundancy Protocol. It indicates if

 

this EDS-510A is or is not the Master of the Turbo Ring.

 

 

NOTE

The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring, only to assign which segment serves

 

as the backup path.

 

The master will be determined automatically if the user does not set a dedicated master for the

 

Turbo Ring.

 

 

 

Redundant Port Status

 

This field indicates the current status of redundant ports. The state is “Forwarding” for normal

 

transmission, “Blocked” for transmission that is stopped if this port is the backup path, and “Link

 

down” for non-connection.

 

Ring Coupling

 

Indicates if the Ring Coupling function is “Enabled” or “Disabled.”

 

Coupling Port Status

 

This indicates the current status of coupling ports. The state is “Forwarding” for normal

 

transmission, “Blocked” for transmission that is stopped if this port is the backup path, and “Link

 

down” for non-connection.

 

At the bottom of the page, the user can configure this function’s “Settings.” For Turbo Ring, the
