2 2. Getting Started This chapter explains the initial installation process for the TN-5500. There are three ways to access the TN-5500’s configuration settings: the serial console, Telnet console, and web console. If you do not know the TN-5500’s IP address, you can open the serial console by connecting the TN-5500 to a PC’s COM port with a short serial cable. You can open the Telnet or web console over an Ethernet LAN or over the Internet.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100) NOTE 1. You cannot connect to the serial and Telnet console at the same time. 2. You can connect to the web console and another console (serial or Telnet) at the same time. However, it is strongly recommended that you do NOT do so. Following this advice will allow you to maintain better control over the TN-5500’s configuration. NOTE We recommend using PComm Terminal Emulator when opening the serial console.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started 3. The Property window should open. On the Communication Parameter tab for Ports, select the COM port that is being used for the console connection. Set the other fields as follows: 115200 for Baud Rate, 8 for Data Bits, None for Parity, and 1 for Stop Bits. 4. On the Terminal tab, select VT100 for Terminal Type. Click OK. 5. In the terminal window, the TN-5500 will prompt you to select a terminal type. Enter 1 to select ansi/vt100 and press Enter.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started 6. The serial console will prompt you to log in. Press Enter and select admin or user. Use the down arrow key on your keyboard to select the Password field and enter a password if desired. This password will be required to access any of the consoles (web, serial, Telnet). If you do not wish to create a password, leave the Password field blank and press Enter. 7. The Main Menu of the TN-5500’s serial console should appear.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started Configuration by Telnet Console You may open the TN-5500’s Telnet or web console over a network. This requires that the PC host and TN-5500 are on the same logical subnet. You may need to adjust your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default, the TN-5500’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and TN-5500’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (for a Class C network). This means that your PC’s IP address must be set to 192.168.127.xxx with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started 4. The Main Menu of the TN-5500’s Telnet console should appear. 5. In the terminal window, select Preferences… from the Terminal menu on the menu bar. 6. The Terminal Preferences window should appear. Make sure that VT100 Arrows is checked. 7.
TN-5516/5518 Series NOTE Getting Started When connecting to the TN-5500’s Telnet or web console, first connect one of TN-5500’s Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN or directly to your PC’s Ethernet port. You may use either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable. NOTE The TN-5500’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253. After making sure that the TN-5500 is connected to the same LAN and logical subnet as your PC, open the TN-5500’s web console as follows: 1.
TN-5516/5518 Series Getting Started Disabling Telnet and Browser Access If you are connecting the TN-5500 to a public network but do not intend to manage it over the network, we suggest disabling both the Telnet and web consoles. This is done through the serial console, by navigating to System Identification under Basic Settings.
3 3. Featured Functions This chapter explains how to access TN-5500’s various configuration, monitoring, and administration functions. These functions can be accessed by serial, Telnet, or web console. The serial console can be used if you do not know TN-5500’s IP address and requires that you connect the TN-5500 to a PC COM port. The Telnet and web consoles can be opened over an Ethernet LAN or the Internet. The web console is the most user-friendly way to configure TN-5500.

TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Initial setup for Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 1. For each switch in the ring, select any two ports as the redundant ports. 2. Connect redundant ports on neighboring switches to form the redundant ring. The user does not need to manually assign the master with Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2. If no switch is assigned as the master, the protocol automatically selects one of the switches to be the master.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Determining the Redundant Path for Turbo Ring V2 Master For Turbo Ring V2, the backup segment is the segment connected to the 2nd redundant port on the master. Please refer to Configuring Turbo Ring V2 later in this chapter. Ring Coupling Configuration For some systems, it may not be convenient to connect all devices in the system in a single redundant ring, since some devices could be located in a remote area.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Ring Coupling for Turbo Ring V2 Switch B Switch D Coupling Port (Primary) Main Path Backup Path Coupling Port (Backup) Switch C Switch A Note that the ring coupling settings for a Turbo Ring V2 are different from a Turbo Ring.

TN-5516/5518 Series NOTE Featured Functions The STP protocol is part of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition bridge specification. The explanation given below uses bridge instead of switch. What is STP? STP (802.1D) is a bridge-based system that is used to implement parallel paths for network traffic. STP uses a loop-detection process to: • Locate and then disable less efficient paths (i.e.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions STP will determine which path between each bridged segment is most efficient, and then assign a specific reference point on the network. When the most efficient path has been identified, the other paths are blocked. In the above 3 figures, STP first determined that the path through Bridge C was the most efficient, and as a result, blocked the path through Bridge B. After the failure of Bridge C, STP re-evaluated the situation and opened the path through Bridge B.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions STP Configuration After all the bridges on the network agree on the identity of the Root Bridge and all relevant parameters have been established, each bridge is configured to forward traffic only between its Root Port and the Designated Bridge Ports for their respective network segments. All other ports are blocked, which means that they will not be allowed to receive or forward traffic.
TN-5516/5518 Series • Featured Functions Bridge A has been selected as the Root Bridge, since it was determined to have the lowest Bridge Identifier on the network. • Since Bridge A is the Root Bridge, it is also the Designated Bridge for LAN segment 1. Port 1 on Bridge A is selected as the Designated Bridge Port for LAN Segment 1. • Ports 1 of Bridges B, C, X, and Y are all Root Ports sine they are nearest to the Root Bridge, and therefore have the most efficient path.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Configuring STP/RSTP The following figures indicate which Spanning Tree Protocol parameters can be configured. A more detailed explanation of each parameter is given below the figure. At the top of this page, the user can check the Current Status of this function. For RSTP, you will see: Now Active: This field shows which communication protocol is being used—Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, Turbo Chain, RSTP, or neither.

The “hello” message is used to check if the topology is healthy. Max. Age (sec.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Step 1: Assign a value to “Hello Time” and then calculate the left most part of Eq. 4 to get the lower limit of Max. Age. Step 2: Assign a value to “Forwarding Delay” and then calculate the right most part of Eq. 4 to get the upper limit for Max. Age. Step 3: Assign a value to Forwarding Delay that satisfies the conditions in Eq. 3 and Eq. 4.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions IEEE 802.1p Priority Level IEEE 802.1D Traffic Type 0 Best Effort (default) 1 Background 2 Standard (spare) 3 Excellent Effort (business critical) 4 Controlled Load (streaming multimedia) 5 Video (interactive media); less than 100 milliseconds of latency and jitter 6 Voice (interactive voice); less than 10 milliseconds of latency and jitter 7 Network Control Reserved traffic Even though the IEEE 802.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Traffic Queues The TN-5500 hardware has multiple traffic queues that allow packet prioritization to occur. Higher priority traffic can pass through the TN-5500 without being delayed by lower priority traffic. As each packet arrives in the TN-5500, it passes through any ingress processing (which includes classification, marking/re-marking), and is then sorted into the appropriate queue. The switch then forwards packets from each queue.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Queuing Mechanism Setting Description Weight Fair TN-5500 has 4 priority queues. In the weight fair scheme, an 8, Weight Fair Factory Default 4, 2, 1 weighting is applied to the four priorities. This approach prevents the lower priority frames from being starved of opportunity for transmission with only a slight delay to the higher priority frames.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Setting Description Factory Low/Normal/ This maps different CoS values to 4 different egress queues. Medium/High 0: Low 1: Low 2: Normal 3: Normal 4: Medium 5: Medium 6: High 7: High TOS/DiffServ Mapping Setting Description Low/Normal/ This maps different TOS values to 4 different egress queues.
TN-5516/5518 Series • Featured Functions Usage groups—You could have one VLAN for email users and another for multimedia users. Benefits of VLANs The main benefit of VLANs is that they provide a network segmentation system that is far more flexible than traditional networks. Using VLANs also provides you with three other benefits: • VLANs ease the relocation of devices on networks. With traditional networks, network administrators spend much of their time dealing with moves and changes.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Communication between VLANs If devices connected to a VLAN need to communicate to devices on a different VLAN, a router or Layer 3 switching device with connections to both VLANs needs to be installed. Communication between VLANs can only take place if they are all connected to a routing or Layer 3 switching device. VLANs: Tagged and Untagged Membership The TN-5500 supports 802.
TN-5516/5518 Series • Featured Functions Port 2 connects a LAN with two untagged devices belonging to VLAN 2. One tagged device with VID 3 and one tagged device with VID 4. It should be configured as Trunk Port with PVID 2 for untagged device and Fixed VLAN (Tagged) with 3 and 4 for tagged device. Since each port can only have one unique PVID, all untagged devices on the same port can only belong to the same VLAN. • Port 3 connects with another switch.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions VLAN Mode Setting Description Factory Default 802.1Q VLAN Set VLAN mode to 802.1Q VLAN 802.1Q VLAN Port-based VLAN Set VLAN mode to Port-based VLAN Management VLAN ID Setting Description Factory Default VLAN ID from 1 to 4094 This assigns the VLAN ID of this TN-5500. 1 Enable GVRP Setting Description Factory Default Enable or Disable Enable or disable GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol).

TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Using Multicast Filtering Multicast filtering improves the performance of networks that carry multicast traffic. This section explains multicasts, multicast filtering, and how multicast filtering can be implemented on your TN-5500. The Concept of Multicast Filtering What is an IP Multicast? A multicast is a packet sent by one host to multiple hosts. Only those hosts that belong to a specific multicast group will receive the multicast.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Network without multicast filtering All hosts receive the multicast traffic, even if they don’t need it. Network with multicast filtering Group 1 Multicast Stream Group 2 Multicast Stream IGMP Group2 IGMP Group1 IGMP Group2 IGMP Group1 Hosts only receive dedicated traffic from other hosts belonging to the same group.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Query Mode Query mode allows the TN-5500 to work as the Querier if it has the lowest IP address on the subnetwork to which it belongs. IGMP querying is enabled by default on the TN-5500 to help prevent interoperability issues with some multicast routers that may not follow the lowest IP address election method. Enable query mode to run multicast sessions on a network that does not contain IGMP routers (or queriers).
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions IGMP Snooping Settings IGMP Snooping Enable Setting Enable/Disable Description Factory Default Click the checkbox to enable the IGMP Snooping function Disabled globally. Query Interval Setting Description Factory Default Numerical value input This sets the query interval of the Querier function globally. 125 seconds by user Valid settings are from 20 to 600 seconds.
TN-5516/5518 Series NOTE Featured Functions If a router or layer 3 switches is connected to the network, it will act as the Querier; thus, this Querier option will be disabled on all Moxa layer 2 switches. If all switches on the network are Moxa layer 2 switches, then only one layer 2 switch will act as Querier. IGMP Table The TN-5500 displays the current active IGMP groups that were detected.
TN-5516/5518 Series Featured Functions Configuring GMRP GMRP is a MAC-based multicast management protocol, whereas IGMP is IP-based. GMRP provides a mechanism that allows bridges and end stations to register or un-register Group membership information dynamically.
