EDS-828 Series Featured Functions
3-23
ATTENTION
Ring Coupling only needs to be enabled on one of the switches serving as the Ring Coupler. The
Coupler must
designate different ports as the two Turbo Ring ports and the coupling port.
NOTE You do not need to use the same EDS-828 unit for both Ring Coupling and Ring Master.
Dual-Ring Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”)
The “dual-ring” option provides another ring coupling configuration, in which two adjacent rings share one
switch. This type of configuration is ideal for applications that have inherent cabling difficulties.
Daul-Ring for a “Turbo Ring V2” Ring.
Dual-Homing Configuration (applies only to “Turbo Ring V2”)
The “dual-homing” option uses a single Ethernet switch to connect two networks. The primary path is the
operating connection, and the backup path is a back-up connection that is activated in the event that the
primary path connection fails.
Dual-Homing for a “Turbo Ring V2” Ring.
Configuring “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2”
Use the Communication Redundancy page to configure select “Turbo Ring” or “Turbo Ring V2.” Note that
configuration pages for these two protocols are different.
