Ring/Network Coupling
Note: Configure the coupling port and the redundancy ring ports on different
ports.
 Activate the function in the "Operation" frame
 Now connect the redundant line and the control line.
The displays in the "Select port" frame mean:
– "Port mode": The port is either active or in stand-by mode.
– "Port state": The port is either active, in stand-by mode or not
connected.
– "IP Address": The IP address of the partner, if the partner is already
operating in the network.
The displays in the "Information" frame mean:
– "Redundancy guaranteed": If the main line no longer functions, the
redundant line takes over the function of the main line.
– "Configuration failure": The function is incomplete or incorrectly
configured.
To avoid continuous loops, the Switch sets the port state of the coupling
port to "off" if you:
– switch off the operation setting or
– change the configuration
while the connections are in operation at these ports.
Note: The following settings are required for the coupling ports (you
select the Basic Settings:Port Configuration dialog):
– Port: on
– Automatic configuration (autonegotiation):
on for twisted-pair connections
– Manual configuration: 100 Mbit/s FDX, 1 Gbit/s FDX, or 10 Gbit/s
FDX, according to the port's capabilities
for glass fiber connections
Note: If VLANs are configured, set the coupling and partner coupling
ports' VLAN configuration as follows:
– in the dialog Switching:VLAN:Port Port VLAN ID 1 and „Ingress
Filtering" deactivated
– in the dialog Switching:VLAN:Static VLAN-Membership U
