Step 1: Determining the Overall System Structure
Trolleys
The following two types of trolley configuration are supported, but operation using type 1 trolley configuration is
recommended.
Type 1: Trolley is equipped with an IP converter, which is connected to the system when moving between ORs.
Type 2: IP converters are installed in the ORs, and only the source/destination device is moved between ORs.
Operation with type 2 trolley configuration has the following limitation.
•
The IP converter settings must continually be changed as the trolley device to connect changes.
•
If optical connectors are mounted on a wall, use durable connectors.
•
This manual describes the use of the type 1 trolley configuration.
Determining the Operation Mode
The system supports the following three operation modes. Select the mode according to the application.
•
Safety priority
•
Cost priority
•
Uncompressed transmission priority
You can specify a different operation mode for use in each OR.
Network switches and trolley devices that are shared between ORs must be set to the same operation mode.
