Admin privilege allows access, and authorization to read and write the MIB file. User privilege only allows reading the MIB file, but does not have authorization to write.

  • Page 33: Trap Settings

    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 EDS-516A 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 34: The Turbo Ring Concept

    In fact, Ethernet is often used to integrate video, voice, and high-rate industrial application data transfers into one network. MOXA EDS-516A, which comes equipped with a redundant Ethernet protocol called Turbo Ring, gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable Ethernet network.

It indicates if this EDS-516A is or is not the Master of the Turbo Ring.

  • Page 38: The Stp/Rstp Concept

    Networks that have a complicated architecture are prone to broadcast storms caused by unintended loops in the network. MOXA EDS-516A’s STP feature is disabled by default. To be completely effective, you must enable RSTP/STP on every EDS-516A connected to your network.

  • Page 39: What Is Stp

    EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions NOTE The STP protocol is part of the IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition bridge specification. The following explanation uses bridge instead of switch.

    EDS-516A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions Using Virtual LAN Setting up Virtual LANs (VLANs) on your EDS-516A increases the efficiency of your network by dividing the LAN into logical segments, as opposed to physical segments. In general, VLANs are easier to manage.

  • Page 52: Managing A Vlan

    To carry multiple VLANs across a single physical (backbone, trunk) link, each packet must be tagged with a VLAN identifier so that the switches can identify which packets belong to which VLAN. To communicate between VLANs, a router must be used. MOXA EDS-516A supports two types of VLAN port settings: 3-36...

  • Page 63: Using Bandwidth Management

    For example, so-called “broadcast storms” could be caused by an incorrectly configured topology, or a malfunctioning device. The EDS-516A series not only prevents broadcast storms, but can also be configured to a different ingress rate for all packets, giving administrators full control of their limited bandwidth to prevent undesirable effects caused by unpredictable faults.
