NOTE
When using a dual-ring architecture, users must complete configuration for both Ring 1 and Ring
2. The status of both rings will appear under
Current Status
.
"Current Status" Items
Now Active
This shows which communication protocol is in use:
Turbo Ring
,
Turbo Ring V2
,
RSTP
, or
none
.
Ring 1/2—Status
This shows
Healthy
if the ring is operating normally, and shows
Break
if the ring’s backup link is
active.
Ring 1/2—Master/Slave
This indicates whether or not the PT-7828 is the master of the Turbo Ring. This field appears only
when selected to operate in Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 mode.
NOTE
The user does not need to assign the master to use Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2. If no master is
assigned, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically assign master status to one of the PT series
Ethernet switches in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the
backup path.
