PT-G7509 User’s Manual Featured Functions
3-32
NOTE
When using a dual-ring architecture, users must complete configuration for both Ring 1 and Ring
2. The status of both rings will appear under Current Status.
"Current Status" Items
Now Active
This shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain,
RSTP, or none.
Ring 1/2—Status
This shows Healthy if the ring is operating normally, and shows Break if the ring’s backup link is
active.
Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
This indicates whether or not the PT-G7509 is the master of the Turbo Ring. This field appears
only when selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.
NOTE
The user does not need to assign the master to use Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2. If no master is
assigned, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically assign master status to one of the PT series
Ethernet switches in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the
backup path.
Ring 1/2—1st Ring Port Status
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.
Coupling—Mode
This indicates either None, Dual Homing, or Ring Coupling.
Coupling—Coupling Port status
This indicates either Primary, or Backup.
