Configuring Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2
On the Communication Redundancy page, select Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2 as the
Redundancy Protocol. Note that each protocol’s configuration page is different.
Configuring Turbo Ring
"Current Status" Items
Now Active
This shows which communication protocol is in use: Turbo Ring, Turbo Ring V2, RSTP, Turbo
Chain, or none.
Master/Slave
This indicates whether or not the TN-5500 is the master of the Turbo Ring. This field appears only
for Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2.
NOTE
The user does not need to assign the master to use Turbo Ring or Turbo Ring V2. If no master is
assigned, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically assign master status to one of the TN series
Ethernet switches in the ring. The master is only used to determine which segment serves as the
backup path.
Redundant Ports Status (1st Port, 2nd Port)
Ring Coupling Ports Status (Coupling Port, Coupling Control Port)
The Ports Status indicators show Forwarding for normal transmission, Blocking if the port is
part of a backup path that is currently blocked, and Link down if there is no connection.
