    Only use the RPSU400 to connect to the GigaCore 26i or GigaCore 26i with PoE. The article number for the RPSU400 is LU 01 00061. One RPSU400 can monitor up to three GigaCore 26i or GigaCore 26i with PoE devices but can only supply power to one device.

  • Page 15: Gigacore Features Explained

    These features will be explained in the following paragraphs. 3.1 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 redundant paths, providing an effortless method to create safe networks.

  • Page 16: Groups (Vlans)

    3 | GIGACoRE fEATURES ExPlAINED 3.2 Groups (Vlans) The groups function allows the user to segment the network into several virtual networks (VLANs). The main benefit of this function is that no group will affect the other groups, 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 in this group only.
  • Page 17 3 | GIGACoRE fEATURES ExPlAINED However, only one link is active between the switches, as the other link is used as redundant link. So, a maximum of 1000Mbps data transfer can be achieved on this link. In our example, we need 1600Mbps of throughput to transfer all four video streams between the switches.
  • Page 18 3 | GIGACoRE fEATURES ExPlAINED In some circumstances it might happen that several data streams will be forwarded to the same port. To know where the data stream will be forwarded to, you can have a look at our aggregation planning web page.

  • Page 19: Configuration

    Alternatively, you could configure your switch using Araneo. Araneo is available for Windows and MacOS and can be found in the download section of our website: http://www.luminex.be/download- araneo/. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THE WEB INTERFACE OF A SWITCH CAN ONLY BE REACHED THROUGH A PORT...

  • Page 23 4 | CoNfIGURATIoN If the offset occurs on the fiber port, the port mode LED will flash RED to indicate the problem. A message will also be displayed in Araneo and the webUI of the GigaCore. If the user does not opt for automatic reboot of the switch, then the affected fiber link will automatically get a different path cost in case it concerns a designated port.

  • Page 24: Rlinkx

    To provide users with a more advanced and efficient method to recover topology in case of a link failure, Luminex has developed a new method for best link cost calculation in an aggregated network, based on the available bandwidth per link.

  • Page 25: Groups (Vlans)

    4 | CoNfIGURATIoN This calculation method is the default one when using MultiLinkX. However, in case you would have to connect your aggregated links to an existing IT network, best is to select the usual path cost calculation based on RSTP. To select this method, click on the Advanced button and select RSTP as link cost.
  • Page 26 ƒ VID (VLAN ID): Luminex group technology relies on the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. By default, Luminex groups have a default VLAN ID of the group number x 100. If required, the user can change the VID of the group. Be aware that if you wish to change the VID you will have to change this on all the switches using this group.

Press Apply to submit your changes. You can have only one PTPv2 setup per switch, so in one group only. On the status page, a stopwatch will be displayed for every port set in the group associated to a PTPv2 domain.
