7.4.1 Preparing a Ring/Network coupling
 STAND-BY switch
All devices have a STAND-BY switch, with which you can define the role
of the device within a Ring/Network coupling.
Depending on the device type, this switch is a DIP switch on the devices,
or else it is exclusively a software setting (Redundancy:Ring/Network
Coupling dialog). By setting this switch, you define whether the device
has the main coupling or the redundant coupling role within a Ring/
Network coupling. You will find details on the DIP switches in the
“Installation” user manual.
Note: Depending on the model, the devices have a DIP switch, with which
you can choose between the software configuration and the DIP switch
configuration. When you set the DIP switches so that the software
configuration is selected, the DIP switches are effectively deactivated.
