Moxa PM-7200-6MSC [15/36] Configuring turbo ring v2

Communication Redundancy Turbo Ring

2-10

Configuring “Turbo Ring V2”

NOTE

When using the Dual-Ring architecture, users must configure settings for both Ring 1 and Ring 2. In this case,

the status of both rings will appear under “Current Status.”

Explanation of “Current Status” Items

Now Active

It shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain, RSTP, or none.

Ring 1/2—Status

It shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is active.

Ring 1/2—Master/Slave

It indicates whether or not this EDS is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when Turbo Ring

or Turbo Ring V2 modes are selected.)

NOTE

The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If master is not set, the Turbo Ring protocol will

assign master status to one of the EDS units in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment

serves as the backup path.

Ring 1/2—1st Ring Port Status

Ring 1/2—2nd Ring Port Status

The “Ports Status” indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if this port is connected to

a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.

Coupling—Mode

It indicates either None, Dual Homing, or Ring Coupling.

Coupling—Coupling Port status

It indicates either Primary, or Backup.
