Multi Segment Configuration

The RADring can be configured to support several segments. A segment can

be connected over the Ethernet backplane (hub segment) or via a card

which is not connected to the backplane (an EPR module or an EP module

configured to work in a stand alone mode).

Up to 10 segments can be connected to a RADring hub. Each segment

module serves as a star for its own segment (see Figure 2-11).
