Step 2: Installing a Network Switch
Determining the Network Structure
This system builds a network using VLAN to control communication between system components. A dedicated VLAN
ID is assigned to a network switch, according to the operation mode.
Safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority operation mode switch settings
example
When the operation mode is set for safety priority or uncompressed transmission priority, two cables (main and sub, each
assigned with a VLAN ID) are connected between each device and the network switch.
The assigned VLAN ID, VLAN name, network address, and network switch IP address are given below.
Cost priority operation mode switch settings example
When the operation mode is set for cost priority, a network switch is shared between two ORs, and each OR is set a unique
VLAN ID.
In addition, separate MGMT-VLANs must be created and connected with Network System Manager. Connect one of the
10GBASE-T ports used for the MGMT-VLAN to the MGMT port using a network cable (Category 5e or higher).
The assigned VLAN ID, VLAN name, network address, and network switch IP address are given below.
The VLAN settings can be configured for a network switch by loading a switch setup file into the network switch
.
