System Operating
- Ethernet
Several Ethernet segments can be set when the RADring hub is used. A
station is a part of the hub’s segment when it is connected to the hub
through an EP module. Two or more hub segments can be connected
through an IRL (inter Repeater Link) into one large segment. In that case,
the stations of all the hubs are part of the same segment.
When EPR modules are used, only the stations/hubs connected to an EPR
module are part of the same segment.
The following examples explain the connectivity in different configurations.
Stand Alone Configuration
In the stand-alone configuration the hub supports up to 80 UTP, screened
UTP ports (EP-8T), or up to 40 fiber-optic ports (EP-4FL). All the ports that
are connected to the hub are part of the same segment.
