SMD23E2 and SMD24E2 User's Manual
MRP Installations
At this point, the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 is configured and ready to use. If you are using the unit in a redun-
dant, ring based, network that uses the Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), continue with the following
instructions.
Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) installations require that the SMD23E2 or
SMD24E2 be installed in a ring topology. In these applications, both Ethernet
ports are used when wiring the ring, daisy chaining from one unit in the ring to the
next. The steps below covers typical software configuration that must also be
completed.
7.7 Configure the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 as an MRC
The SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 functions as a Media Redundancy Client (MRC) in an MRP network.
1) Switch to Topology view and drag the additional connections between the appropriate ports.
2) Click on the SMD23x2 icon to select it. In the Inspector window, select Advanced options +> Media
redundancy. Use the "MRP domain:" drop down menu to select the appropriate domain. Use the "Media
redundancy role:" drop down menu to select "Client".
3) Continuing in the Inspector window, select Advanced options +> Port 1 +> Port interconnection. Under
"Partner port:", the partner port you assigned to the port when you drew the topology is shown. If you do
not know which port will be the partner port in the actual installation, you can use the drop down menu to
select "Any partner".
4) If need be, repeat step 3 for Port 2 of the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2.
