backup port will automatically become a working port to recover from the failure.
The switch supports one Dipswitch for configuring the switch as the ring master or slave
mode. The ring master has the rights to negotiate and place the command to other
switches in the X-Ring group. If there are 2 or more switches are in master mode, then
software will select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring master. The
X-Ring master ring mode will be enabled by the DIP Switch. When the switch is set to the
master ring mode, the X-Ring configuration interface will display the switch as the master
ring with a message. Also, you can identify the switch as the ring master from the R.M.
LED panel on the LED panel on the switch.
The system also supports the coupling ring that can connect 2 or more X-Ring groups for
the redundant backup function and dual homing function that prevents a connection loss
between the X-Ring group and the upper level/core switch.

 Coupling port: assign the member port
 Control port: set the switch as the master switch in the coupling ring.
 Enable Dual Homing: set up one of the ports on the switch to be the Dual Homing
port. In an X-Ring group, the maximum Dual Homing port is one in each X-Ring
group. Dual Homing only works when the X-Ring function enabled.
