Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
EDS-405A/408A series switches are plug-and-play managed redundant
Ethernet switches. The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol was developed by
Moxa to provide better network reliability and faster recovery time. Moxa
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 the
EDS-405A/408A that can be used to set up the Turbo Ring easily within
seconds. If you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to set up Turbo
Ring, you can use a web browser, Telnet, or console to disable this
function.
NOTE Refer to the
Turbo Ring DIP Switch
