Moxa TN-5818-2GTXBP-HV-HV [18/36] Communication redundancy turbo ring

Communication Redundancy Turbo Ring

2-13

NOTE

The Turbo Ring DIP Switches located on the outer casing of EDS series switches can be used to configure the

switches’ Turbo Ring protocols (Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2). If the Turbo Ring DIP Switch is enabled from any

access interface (web-based UI, console, or Telnet), and the 4th DIP Switch on the switch outer casing is set

to ON, the Redundancy Protocol will be set automatically to the Turbo Ring protocol based on the version

configured in the Turbo Ring DIP Switch page and the corresponding Redundant Ports, Coupling Ports, and

Coupling Control Port will be fixed to the assigned factory default port number automatically. In this case, you

will not be able to use the web-based UI, console, or Telnet interface to change the status of the DIP Switch and

the Communication Redundancy settings will be grayed out in the web browser as shown in the following

figure:

In addition, those default Redundant Ports, Coupling Ports, and Coupling Control Port will be added

automatically to all VLANs (i.e., to act as “Trunk Ports”) if you set the 4th DIP Switch to the “ON” position when

the Turbo Ring DIP Switch is enabled. Once you flip the 4th DIP Switch from ON to OFF when the Turbo Ring

DIP Switch is enabled, such default Redundant Ports, Coupling Ports, and Coupling Control Port that were

added to all VLANs will be restored to their previous software settings.

NOTE

If you would like to enable VLAN and/or port trunking on any of the last four ports, do not use the fourth DIP

switch to activate Turbo Ring. In this case, you should use the Web, Telnet, or Serial console to activate Turbo

Ring.
