Set a port as coupling port. The coupled four ports of four switches
will be run at active/backup mode.
Control Port
Link to Control Port of the switch of the same ring. Control Port used
to transmit control signals.
Dual Homing
Mark to enable Dual Homing. By selecting Dual Homing mode,
O-Ring will be connected to normal switches through two RSTP links
(ex: backbone Switch). The two links work as active/backup mode,
and connect each O-Ring to the normal switches in RSTP mode.

O-Chain
O-Chain is the revolutionary network redundancy technology that provides the add-on network
redundancy topology for any backbone network, providing ease-of-use while maximizing
fault-recovery swiftness, flexibility, compatibility, and cost-effectiveness in one set of network
redundancy topology. O-Chain allows multiple redundant network rings of different redundancy
protocols to join and function together as a larger and more robust compound network
topology, i.e. the creation of multiple redundant networks beyond the limitations of current
redundant ring technology.
