VIP-NET-M28A Network Switch - USER MANUAL
VERSION 1.0
Coupling Ring
If you already have two O-Ring topologies and would like to connect the rings, you can form them into a
couping ring. All you need to do is select two switches from each ring to be connected, for example, switch
A and B from Ring 1 and switch C and D from ring 2. Decide which port on each switch to be used as the
coupling port and then link them together, for example, port 1 of switch A to port 2 of switch C and port 1 of
switch B to port 2 of switch D. Then, enable Coupling Ring option by checking the checkbox on the
management page and select the coupling ring in correspondance to the connected port. For more
information on port setting, please refer to 0 Configurations. Once the setting is completed, one of the
connections will act as the main path while the other will act as the backup path.
