4.1 Example configuration
The following section shows in detail the configuration of a simple Sub-Ring
example.
4.1.1 Example description
You want to couple a new network segment with 3 devices to an existing
redundant ring with the HIPER-Ring protocol. Do not couple the network
segment to just one end, but rather to both ends, thus providing increased
redundancy reliability with the corresponding configuration.
The new segment thus becomes a Sub-Ring. It is coupled to existing devices
of the basis ring of the type RSR20, RSR30 or MACH 1000. You also config-
ure these devices as Sub-Ring Managers in accordance with the new task.
