Turbo Ring DIP Switch Settings
Switches of IE-SW-PL10M series are managed Ethernet switches that
offer redundancy. The proprietary Turbo Ring protocol provides better
network reliability and faster recovery time. 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 Switch that can help setup the Turbo Ring easily within seconds. If
you do not want to use a hardware DIP switch to setup the Turbo Ring,
you can use a web browser, telnet, or console to disable this function.
