X-Ring Configuration
The Managed Industrial Switch supports the function and interface for setting the
switch as the ring master or not. The ring master can negotiate and place command
to other switches in the X-Ring group. If there are 2 or more switches in master mode,
the software will select the switch with lowest MAC address number as the ring
master. The X-Ring master ring mode can be enabled by setting the X-Ring
configuration interface. Also, the user can identify whether the switch is the ring
master by checking the R.M. LED indicator on the panel of the Switch.
The system also supports the Couple Ring that can connect 2 or more X-Ring group
for the redundant backup function; Dual Homing function that can prevent
connection lose between X-Ring group and upper level/core switch.
