User Manual

You can use the CWGE9MS managed Ethernet switch to connect PCs, workstations,

and servers to each other by connecting these devices directly to the switch. All the

devices in this network can communicate with each other. Connecting servers to the

backbone switch allow other users to access the server’s data.

The switch automatically learns node address, which are subsequently used to filter and

forward all traffic based on the destination address. You can use any of the RJ45 port of

the CWGE9MS managed Ethernet switch to connect with another Switch or Hub to

interconnect each of your small-switched workgroups to form a larger switched network.

4.3 X-Ring Application

This industrial switch supports the X-Ring protocol that can help the network system to

recovery from network connection failure within 20ms, making the network system more

reliable. The X-Ring algorithm is similar to spanning tree protocol (STP) algorithm but the

recovery time is faster than STP. The following figure is a sample X-Ring configuration.
