Moxa PM-7200-6MSC [8/36] Determining the redundant path of a turbo ring v2 ring

Communication Redundancy Turbo Ring

2-3

When the Number of Switches in the Turbo Ring is Odd

If there are 2N+1 switches (an odd number) in the “Turbo

Ring” ring, with switches and segments labeled

counterclockwise, then segment N+1 will serve as the

backup path.

For the example shown here, N=1, so that N+1=2.

Determining the Redundant Path of a “Turbo Ring V2” Ring

For a “Turbo Ring V2” ring, the backup segment is the

segment connected to the 2nd redundant port on the

master.

See Configuring “Turbo Ring V2” in the Configuring “Turbo

Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2” section below.

Ring Coupling Configuration

For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to create one BIG redundant

ring, since some devices could be located in a remote area. For these systems, Ring Coupling can be used to

separate the devices into different smaller redundant rings, but in such a way that they can still communicate

with each other.

ATTENTION

In a VLAN environment, the user must set Redundant Port, Coupling Port, and Coupling Control Port to

join all VLANs, since these ports act as the backbone to transmit all packets of different VLANs to different

switches.
