User Manual Managed Switches
34
If you do not enable any of the managed Weidmüller Ethernet Switches to be the Ring
Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the Ethernet Switch with the
smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than
one Ethernet Switch to be the Ring Master, these switches will auto-negotiate to
determine which one will be the Ring Master.
If you use the browser interface to enable the DIP switches (by un-checking the “Disable
the Turbo Ring DIP switch” checkbox), and then flip DIP switch 4 from ON to OFF, the
Ring Ports and Coupling Ports that were added to all VLANs will be restored to their
previous software settings. (For details, please refer to the “Using Virtual LANs” section of
this manual).
