Dip Switch Settings
Turbo Ring DIP Switches
The Turbo Ring DIP Switch page allows users to disable the four DIP switches located on the NPort S8000’s
outer casing. When enabled, the DIP switches can be used to configure basic settings for either the “Turbo Ring”
protocol or “Turbo Ring V2” protocol. A complete description of the settings is given below.
NOTE
The proprietary
“Turbo Ring” protocol (recovery time < 300 ms) was developed by Moxa in 2003 to provide
better network reliability and faster recovery time for redundant ring topologies. The
“Turbo Ring V2”
protocol
(recovery time < 20 ms), which was released in 2007, supports additional redundant ring architectures.
In this manual, we use the terminology
“Turbo Ring” ring and “Turbo Ring V2” ring to differentiate between
rings configured for on
e or the other of these protocols.
For a detailed description of
“Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2,” please refer to the Using Communication
Redundancy section later in this chapter.
