Moxa EDS-82810G [36/113] Attention

EDS-828 Series Featured Functions

3-23

The “Coupling Port (Backup)” on Switch A is used for the backup path, and connects directly to an extra

network port on Switch C. The “Coupling Port (Primary)” on Switch B monitors the status of the main path, and

connects directly to an extra network port on Switch D. With ring coupling established, Switch A can activate

the backup path as soon as it detects a problem with the main path.

ATTENTION

Ring Coupling only needs to be enabled on one of the switches serving as the Rin

g Coupler. The

Coupler must

designate different ports as the two Turbo Ring ports and the coupling port.

NOTE

You do not need to use the same EDS

-828 unit for both Ring Coupling and Ring Master.

Dual-Ring Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”)

The “dual-ring” option provides another ring coupling configuration, in which two adjacent rings share one

switch. This type of configuration is ideal for applications that have inherent cabling difficulties.

Dual-Homing Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”)

The “dual-homing” option uses a single Ethernet switch to connect two networks. The primary path is the

operating connection, and the backup path is a back-up connection that is activated in the event that the

primary path connection fails.
