2.2.5 Adjusting DIP switch settings on basic module 
The 6-pin DIP switch on the bottom panel of the basic module provides you 
with the following options:
Figure 12: 6-pin DIP switch on basic module
1 – Switch 1, position ON, function: Redundancy Manager (RM)
2 – Switch 2, position ON, function: module 2, port 1 and port 2
3 – Switch 3, position ON, function: stand-by
4 – Switch 4, position ON, function: HIPER-Ring
5 – Switch 5, position ON, function: DIP configuration
DIP switch Function Default setting
RM (Redundancy 
Manager)
Switch the RM (Redundancy Manager) 
function on and off when the HIPER-Ring 
function is activated (see “User Manual - 
Redundancy Configuration”).
OFF position (RM function 
deactivated)
Ring port  Select the port for the HIPER-Ring. The 
changes to the switch setting are taken 
over after the restart.
In the ON position, ports 1 and 2 in module 
2 form the connection for the HIPER-Ring.
OFF position (ports 1 and 2 in 
module 1 form the connection 
for the HIPER-Ring).
Stand-by With the redundant coupling of rings, you 
assign the redundancy function to the 
PowerMICE in the redundant line (see 
“User Manual - Redundancy 
Configuration”).
OFF position (normal 
operation)
HIPER-Ring
a
a. Control port: module 1, port 3; coupling port: module 1, port 4
Switch the HIPER-Ring functions on and 
off. When the function is switched off, you 
can use the Ring ports as normal ports.
In the ON position, RSTP (Rapid 
Spanning Tree) is globally deactivated.
OFF position
Software 
configuration / DIP 
configuration
Give the software configuration 
precedence over the DIP switch position. 
In this case, the other switch positions are 
meaningless.
OFF position (software 
configuration has precedence)
Service Switch the device to the service mode. OFF position (normal 
operation)
OFF ON
