Release 6.0 07/2010
The following tables show the selection options and default settings for
the ports used in the Ring/Network coupling.
Operation Here you switch the Ring/Network coupling for this device on or off
Information If the device is a ring manager: The displays in this frame mean:
“Redundancy working”: When a component of the ring is down, the
redundant line takes over the function of the failed line.
“Configuration failure”: You have configured the function incorrectly, or
there is no ring port connection.
Redundancy Mode With the “Redundant Ring/Network Coupling” setting, either the main
line or the redundant line is active. Both lines are never active
simultaneously.
With the “Extended Redundancy” setting, the main line and the
redundant line are simultaneously active if a problem is detected in the
connection line between the devices in the connected (i.e., the remote)
network. During the reconfiguration period, package duplications may
possibly occur. Therefore, only select this setting if your application
detects package duplications.
Coupling Mode Here you define whether the constellation you are configuring is a
coupling of redundancy rings (HIPER-Ring, MRP-Ring), or network
segments.
