EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Initial Setup 1. Select any two ports as redundant ports. 2. Connect the redundant ports to form the Turbo Ring The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. Master is only needed to identify which segment acts as the backup path. The actual topology of the redundant ring, i.e., which segment will be blocked, is determined by the number of EDSs that make up the ring and where the Ring Master is located.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions When the number of EDS units in the Turbo Ring is odd. If there are 2N+1 EDS units (an odd number) in the Turbo Ring, with EDS units and segments labeled counterclockwise, then segment N+1 will serve as the backup path. Master For the example shown here, N=1, so that N+1=2. Segment N+1 For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system to make one BIG redundant ring, since some devices could be located in a remote area.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Decide appropriate coupling ports in each switch and link them together. Next, assign one switch (e.g., Switch A) as coupler and set the proper coupling control port with another switch (e.g., Switch B) in the same Turbo Ring, and then connect them. Consequently, the Coupler switch (e.g., Switch A) will monitor switch B through the coupling control port to decide whether or not the coupling port’s backup path should be recovered.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Redundant Port Status This field indicates the current status of redundant ports. The state is Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocked to stop transmission if this port is the backup path, and Link down for non-connection.

EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions interface to change the status of the DIP Switch. In this case, the Communication Redundancy settings will be “grayed out,” as shown in the following figure: The STP/RSTP Concept Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) was designed to help reduce link failures in a network, and provide protection from loops. Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e., paths that have a lower bandwidth). Enable one of the less efficient paths if the most efficient path fails. The figure below shows a network made up of three LANs separated by three bridges. Each segment uses at most two paths to communicate with the other segments. Since this configuration can give rise to loops, the network will overload if STP is NOT enabled.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions LAN 1 Bridge B Bridge A LAN 2 Bridge C LAN 3 STP determines which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assigns a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the previous 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions The identity of each bridge’s Root Port. The Root Port is the port on the bridge that connects to the Root Bridge via the most efficient path; in other words, the port connected to the Root Bridge via the path with the lowest Root Path Cost. The Root Bridge, however, does not have a Root Port. The identity of the Designated Bridge for each LAN segment. The Designated Bridge is the bridge with the lowest Root Path Cost from that segment.

Select this item to change to the RSTP configuration page.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Enable STP per Port Setting Enable/Disable NOTE Description Select to enable the port as a node on the Spanning Tree topology. Factory Default Disabled We suggest not enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol once the port is connected to a device (PLC, RTU, etc.) as opposed to network equipment. The reason is that it will cause unnecessary negotiation.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions HINT: Take the following steps to avoid guessing: Step 1: Assign a value to Hello Time and then calculate the left most part of Eq. 4 to get the lower limit of Max. Age. Step 2: Assign a value to Forwarding Delay and then calculate the right most part of Eq. 4 to get the upper limit for Max. Age. Step 3: Assign a value to Forwarding Delay that satisfies the conditions in Eq. 3 and Eq. 4.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions The IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition priority marking scheme assigns an IEEE 802.1p priority level between 0 and 7 to each frame. This determines the level of service that type of traffic should receive. Refer to the table below for an example of how different traffic types can be mapped to the eight IEEE 802.1p priority levels. IEEE 802.1p Priority Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 IEEE 802.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual 2. Featured Functions Because the 802.1p priority levels are fixed to the traffic queues, the packet will be placed in the appropriate priority queue, ready for transmission through the appropriate egress port. When the packet reaches the head of its queue and is about to be transmitted, the device determines whether or not the egress port is tagged for that VLAN. If it is, then the new 802.1p tag is used in the extended 802.1D header.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Queuing Mechanism Setting Description EDS-408A/405A has 4 priority queues. In the weight fair scheme, an 8, 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities. This approach prevents the lower priority frames from being starved of opportunity for transmission with only a slight delay to the higher priority frames.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions CoS Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different CoS values to 4 different egress queues. Factory Default 0: Low 1: Low 2: Normal 3: Normal 4: Medium 5: Medium 6: High 7: High TOS/DiffServ Mapping Setting Low/Normal/ Medium/High Description Set the mapping table of different TOS values to 4 different egress queues.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage. The Concept of Virtual LAN (VLAN) What is a VLAN? A VLAN is a group of devices that can be located anywhere on a network, but which communicate as if they are on the same physical segment.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual y y Featured Functions VLANs provide extra security: Devices within each VLAN can only communicate with other devices on the same VLAN. If a device on VLAN Marketing needs to communicate with devices on VLAN Finance, the traffic must pass through a routing device or Layer 3 switch. VLANs help control traffic: With traditional networks, congestion can be caused by broadcast traffic that is directed to all network devices, regardless of whether or not they need it.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual NOTE Featured Functions If you enable the Hardware DIP Switch for Turbo Ring and set the Turbo Ring DIP Switch from ON to OFF, then the Ring Ports and Coupler Ports that are added to all VLANs will be restored to their previous software settings. (For details on how to do this, refer to “Configuring Basic Settings—Turbo Ring DIP Switch.”) Using this table, you can review the created VLAN groups and joined ports. (NOTE: The user interface for EDS-408A shows 8 ports.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Policy Setting Limit All Limit Broadcast Limit Broadcast and Multicast Limit Broadcast, Multicast, and flooded unicast Description Selecting this option prohibits all traffic of broadcast, multicast, and unicast packets that exceed the rate set in the following “Rate” field. Selecting this option prohibits all traffic of broadcast packets that exceed the rate set in the following “Rate” field.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Auto Warning Since industrial Ethernet devices are often located at the endpoints of a system, these devices will not always know what is happening elsewhere on the network. This means that an industrial Ethernet switch that connects to these devices must provide system maintainers with real-time warning messages.
EDS-408A/405A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Event Types Event Types can be divided into two basic groups: System Events and Port Events. System Events are related to the overall function of the switch, whereas Port Events are related to the activity of a specific port.
