Note: Configure the coupling port and the redundancy ring ports on different
ports.
Activate the function in the “Operation” frame (see fig. 16) .
You now connect the redundant line.
The displays in the “Select port” frame mean (see fig. 16) :
– “Port mode”: The port is either active or in stand-by mode.
– “Port state”: The port is either connected or not connected.
– “IP Address”: The IP address of the partner, if the partner is already
operating in the network.
The displays in the “Information” frame mean (see fig. 23) :
– “Redundancy existing”: One of the lines affected can fail, as a
redundant line will then take over the function of the failed line.
– “Configuration failure”: The function is incomplete or incorrectly
configured.
Figure 16: Selecting the port and enabling/disabling operation
To avoid continuous loops, the Switch sets the port state of the coupling
port to “off” if you:
– switch off operation or
– change the configuration
while the connections are in operation at these ports.
