Note: Configure all the devices of the MRP-Ring individually. Before you
connect the redundant line, you must have completed the configuration of all
the devices of the MRP-Ring. You thus avoid loops during the configuration
phase.

If there is exactly one device, you switch the Ring Manager function on at the
ends of the line.
Operation When you have configured all the parameters for the MRP-Ring, you switch the
operation on with this setting. When you have configured all the devices in the
MRP-Ring, you close the redundant line.
Ring
Recovery
For the device for which you have activated the ring manager, select the value
200 ms if the stability of the ring meets the requirements for your network.
Otherwise select 500 ms.
Note: Settings in the “Ring Recovery” frame are only effective for devices that
are ring managers.
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 its function.
“Configuration failure”: You have configured the function incorrectly, or there is
no ring port connection.
