Configuring "Turbo Ring"
Explanation of "Current Status" Items
Now Active
Shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, or none.
Master/Slave
Indicates whether or not this device is the Master of the Turbo Ring. (This field appears only when
selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.)
NOTE
The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. If no master is set, the Turbo Ring
protocol will assign master status to one of the Weidmueller Switch units in the ring. The master is
only used to determine which segment serves as the backup path.
Redundant Ports Status (1st Port, 2nd Port)
Ring Coupling Ports Status (Coupling Port, Coupling Control Port)
The "Ports Status" indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if this port is
connected to a backup path and the path is blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
