accidentally enable more than one NPort S8000 to be the Ring Master, these NPort S8000 switches will
auto
-negotiate to determine which one will be the Ring Master.

If you use the browser interface to enable the DIP switches (by un
-checking the “

switch
” checkbox), and then flip DIP switch 4 from ON to OFF, the Ring Ports and Coupling Ports that were
added to all VL
ANs will be restored to their previous software settings. (For details, please refer to the “
