    These features will be explained in the following pages : RLinkX RLinkX, which stands for Redundant Link by LumineX, is an automated system to easily create redundant paths between your GigaCore switches. Switches automatically create active and backup paths, providing an effortless methode to create safe networks.

  • Page 12: Groups

    Groups Groups function allows the user to segment the network into several subnets. The main benefit of this function is that no subnet will affect the other ones, on protocol level. The user can create several groups on the network, and each device included in a group will be able to communicate with devices of this group only.

  • Page 13: Multilinkx

    MultiLinkX Most of the time, a redundant link set with RLinkX between two GigaCore switches will fit for every day event. A 1000Mbps link is more than enough for most of the current applications. However, it can happen that you’ll need to transfer a larger amount of data between the switches.
  • Page 14 MultiLinkX enables you to gather several links together, and turn them into one virtual link. This provides you with more bandwidth available between the switches, and thus more throughput. MultiLinkX can accept as many ports as you want into an aggregation, and up to 8 aggregations can be created on a switch. Working with PtP When working with PtP (Precision Time Protocol), you’ll notice an inverted PTP icon to indicates the PTP enabled port in an aggregation.

  • Page 15: Starting

    An IEC socket is located at the rear of the unit. Please use an IEC plug compliant cable to feed power to the unit. Luminex recommends the use of a power cable, fitted with a locking mechanism to ensure a reliable connection to the device.
