NOTE We suggest not enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol once the port is connected to a device
(PLC, RTU, etc.) as opposed to network equipment. The reason is that it will cause
unnecessary negotiation.
Redundant Ring Quick Setup
Most users will use MOXA EtherDevice Server's Redundant Ring Quick Setup feature,
which automatically establishes ports 7 and 8 as portals for communicating with other
devices on the network also configured for Spanning Tree protocol. This means that when
the quick setup feature is enabled, you should connect ports 7 and 8 to the network (instead
of to a device). That is, these ports should connect to a HUB, switch, or another MOXA
EtherDevice Server, provided the opposing device is connected to the rest of the network.
