The Turbo Chain Concept
Moxa’s Turbo Chain is an advanced software technology that gives network administrators the flexibility to
construct any type of redundant network topology. When using the “chain” concept, you first connect the
Ethernet switches in a chain and then simply link the two ends of the chain to an Ethernet network, as
illustrated in the following figure.
