Configuring Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2
On the Communication Redundancy page, select Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 as the Redundancy
Protocol. Note that each protocol’s configuration page is different.
Configuring Turbo Ring
"Current Status" Items
Now Active
This shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, Turbo Chain, or
none.
Master/Slave
This indicates whether or not the TN-5500 is the master of the Turbo Ring. This field appears only for Turbo
Ring or Turbo Ring V2.
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 TN series Ethernet switches in the
ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the backup path.
