Ring/Network coupling
5.2 Preparing a Ring/Network
coupling

5.2.1 STAND-BY switch

The devices have a STAND-BY switch, with which you can define the role of
the device within a Ring/Network coupling.
Depending on the device, this switch is a DIP switch or a software switch
(Redundancy:Ring/Network Coupling dialog). By setting this switch,
you define whether the device has the main coupling or the redundant cou-
pling within a Ring/Network coupling.
