Page 27: Factory Default
This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable. For example, if MOXA EtherDevice Switch is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue. -
Page 28: The Concept Of Turbo Ring
Up to 5 sec The Concept of Turbo Ring Moxa developed the proprietary Turbo Ring protocol to optimize communication redundancy and achieve a faster recovery time on the network. Turbo Ring protocol identifies one switch as the “master” of the network, and then automatically blocks packets from traveling through any of the network’s redundant loops. - Page 29 “Coupling Control Port” as “Trunk Port.” Since these ports act as the “backbone” to transmit all packets of different VLANs to different EDS units. Ring Coupling Switch B Main Path Coupling Control Port Backup Path Coupling Port Switch A: “Coupler” Switch C MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-13...

Page 30: Configuring Turbo Ring
The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring, only to assign which segment serves as the backup path. The master will be determined automatically if the user does not set a dedicated master for the Turbo Ring. MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-14... -
Page 31: The Concept Of Stp/Rstp
Spanning Tree Algorithm and Protocol, as defined in the IEEE Std 802.1w-2001. Some of the benefits of RSTP are: Faster determination of the topology throughout a bridged network. Easy deployment throughout a legacy network, through backward compatibility: MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-15... -
Page 32: What Is Stp
STP could have determined, for example, that traffic from LAN segment 2 to LAN segment 1 should flow through Bridges C and A because this path has a greater bandwidth and is therefore more efficient. MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-16... -
Page 33: How Stp Works
EDS is 32768. Each port has a cost that specifies the efficiency of each link, usually determined by the bandwidth of the link—the higher the cost, the less efficient the link. The following table MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-17... -

Page 39: The Concept Of Traffic Prioritization
Without this tag, the scheme cannot work. The tag is part of the IEEE 802.1Q header, so to implement QoS at layer 2, the entire network has to implement IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tagging. MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-23... -
Page 40: Traffic Prioritization
Strict: This method services high traffic queues first; low priority queues are delayed until no more high priority data needs to be sent. This method always gives precedence to high priority over low-priority. MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-24... -

Featured Functions Configuring Traffic Prioritization QoS Classification MOXA EtherDevice Switch supports inspection of layer 3 TOS and/or layer 2 CoS tag information to determine how to classify traffic packets. Queuing Mechanism Setting Description Factory Default EDS-508 has 4 priority queues. -

Page 43: Using Virtual Lan
With VLANs, you can segment your network without being restricted by physical connections—a limitation of traditional network design. As an example, with VLANs you can segment your network according to: MOXA EtherDevice Server User’s Manual 3-27... -
Page 44: Benefits Of Vlans
VLANs increase the efficiency of your network because each VLAN can be set up to contain only those devices that need to communicate with each other. VLANs and MOXA EtherDevice Switch Your EDS provides support for VLANs using the IEEE Std 802.1Q-1998. This standard allows traffic from multiple VLANs to be carried across one physical link. -

Page 48: Using Multicast Filtering
If the network is set up correctly, a multicast can only be sent to an endstation or a subset of endstations in a LAN, or VLAN, that belong to the relevant multicast group.

Page 59: Configuring Relay Warning
Events are related to the overall function of the Switch, whereas Port Events are related to the activity of a specific port. MOXA EtherDevice Switch supports two relay outputs. You can configure which relay output is related to which events. This helps administrators identify the importance of the different events. -
Page 60: Relay Alarm List
Commercial Ethernet switches need 3 to 5 minutes to recover connections when networked devices change their position, an unacceptable scenario for industrial applications. Compare this with the MOXA patented Line-swap fast recovery feature, which responds in less than 1 second, keeping your communication lines open longer. -
Page 61: Configuring Line-Swap Fast Recovery
IP addresses to connected devices that are equipped with DHCP Client or RARP protocol. In effect, MOXA EtherDevice Switch acts as a DHCP server by assigning a connected device with a specific IP address stored in MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s internal memory. Each time the connected device is switched on or rebooted, MOXA EtherDevice Switch sends the device the desired IP address. -
Page 62: Configuring Set Device Ip
STEP 2 Configure MOXA EtherDevice Switch’s Set device IP function, either from the Console utility or from the Web Browser interface. In either case, you simply need to enter the Desired IP for each port that needs to be configured. -
