Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
IE-SW-PL08M models are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet switches.
The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol provides better network reliability and
faster recovery time. Turbo Ring’s recovery time is less than 300 ms (
Turbo
Ring
) or 20 ms (
Turbo Ring V2
) - compared to a 3- to 5-minute recovery time
for commercial switches - decreasing the possible loss caused by network
failures in an industrial setting.
There are 4 Hardware DIP Switches for Turbo Ring on the top panel of
IE-SW-PL08M switch that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds.
If you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the Turbo Ring, you
can use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.
NOTE
Please refer to the
Turbo Ring DIP Switch
section and
Using
Communication Redundancy
section in User’s Manual for more
detail information about the settings and usage of
Turbo Ring
and
Turbo Ring V2
.
