Explanation of “Current Status” Items
Now Active
Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain,
RSTP, or none.
Ring 1/2—Status
Shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is
active.
Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
Indicates whether or not this EDS is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when
selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)

protocol will assign master status to one of the EDS units in the ring. The master is only used to
determine which segment serves as the backup path.

Ring 1/2—2nd Ring Port Status
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.
