Moxa Managed Ethernet Switch/Extender Featured Functions
The Moxa switch supports two relay outputs. You can configure which relay output is related to which events,
which helps administrators identify the importance of the different events.
System Events Warning Relay output is triggered when…
Power Transition (On -> Off) Moxa switch is powered down
Power Transition (Off -> On) Moxa switch is powered up
Digital Input 1/2 is triggered by on to off transition
DI1/DI2 (Off -> On) Digital Input 1/2 is triggered by off to on transition
Turbo Ring Break The Turbo Ring is broken. Only the MASTER switch of Turbo Ring will output
warning relay.
Warning e-mail is sent when…
Link-ON The port is connected to another device.
Link-OFF
The port is disconnected (e.g., the cable is pulled out, or the opposing device
shuts down).
Traffic-Overload The port’s traffic surpasses the Traffic-Threshold for that port (provided this
item is Enabled).
Traffic-Threshold (%) Enter a nonzero number if the port’s Traffic-Overload item is Enabled.
Traffic-Duration (sec.) A Traffic-Overload warning is sent every Traffic-Duration seconds if the
average Traffic-Threshold is surpassed during that time period.
Override relay alarm settings
Check the checkbox to override the relay warning setting temporarily. Releasing the relay output will allow
administrators to fix any problems with the warning condition
-Overload, Traffic-Threshold (%), and Traffic-
Duration (sec) Port Event items are related. If you
Enable the Traffic
-Overload event, then be sure to enter a nonzero Traffic-
Threshold percentage, as well as a
Traffic
-Duration between 1 and 300 seconds.

Using Line-Swap-Fast-Recovery
The Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, which is enabled by default, allows the Moxa switch to return to normal
operation extremely quickly after devices are unplugged and then re-plugged into different ports. The recovery
time is on the order of a few milliseconds (compare this with standard commercial switches for which the
recovery time could be on the order of several minutes). To disable the Line-Swap Fast Recovery function, or
to re-enable the function after it has already been disabled, access either the Console utility’s Line-Swap
recovery page, or the Web Browser interface’s Line-Swap fast recovery page, as shown below.
