Software Configuration Of Ring - pathway VIA PWVIA RM P12 User Manual

SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION OF RING

• Start with the redundant wiring segment unplugged.
• Connect the computer running Pathscape to one of the end switches, in the wiring chain.
• Configure the switch that is physically furthest away on the chain. Work backwards until reaching the closest switch.
• Now plug in the redundant wiring segment. Check the message on the LCD of the switch, which should change within
a few seconds from "Ring Protect State: Failed" to Ring Protect State: Complete". You can also check the Ring State
property under Ring Protect Properties (EAPS) section in Pathscape.
• If the "Failed" message does not clear, unplug the redundant segment and check the port settings of each switch for
misconfiguration.
