Configuring “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2”

Use the Communication Redundancy page to configure select “Turbo Ring” or “Turbo Ring V2.” Note that

configuration pages for these two protocols are different.

Configuring “Turbo Ring”

Explanation of “Current Status” Items

Now Active

Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none.

Master/Slave

Indicates whether or not this EDS-828 is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when selected

to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)

NOTE

The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring protocol will

assign master status to

one of the EDS-828 units in the ring. The master is only used to determine which

segment serves as the backup path.

Redundant Port Status (1st Port, 2nd Port)

Ring Coupling Ports Status (coupling Port, Coupling Control Port)

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.
