Redundant ring structure – HIPER-Ring
3.2 Configuring the HIPER-Ring
V Set up the network to meet your requirements.
Note: Before you connect the redundant line, you must complete the
configuration of the HIPER-Ring.
You thus avoid loops during the configuration phase.
V Select the Redundancy:HIPER-Ring dialog.
Note: .As an alternative to using software to configure the HIPER-Ring,
you can also enter a number of settings for the HIPER-Ring with a DIP
switch. You can use this DIP switch to enter a setting for the switches
MS 20, MS 30 and PowerMICE, whether the configuration via DIP
switch or the configuration via software has priority.
The state on delivery is "Software Configuration".
V For each switch, you enter the desired ring ports 1 and 2.
The following settings are required for the ring ports (for this you
select the Basics:Port Configuration dialog):
Bit rate
Duplex
Autonegotiation
(Automatic Configuration)
Port
Table 7: Port settings for ring ports
Note: When you use 100 Mbit/s and full-duplex with twisted pair cables,
the autocrossing function is deactivated. You therefore use crossover
cables.
Display in "Operation" field:
Active: this port is switched on and has a link
Inactive: this port is switched off or has no link
