Note
When there is a reset to factory defaults, the redundancy mode Automatic Redundancy
D
etection (ARD) is enabled.
The configuration of the ring ports is also reset to the factory
-set ports:
•
X-300: Port 9 and port 10
•
X-300 EEC: Port 8 and port 9
•
X304-2: Ports 5 and 6
•
X308-2M: Port 1 and port 2
•
XR324-4M: Port 1 and port 2
•
XR324-12M: Port 1.1 and port 1.2
•
X408-2: Ports 5.1 and 5.2
•
X414-3E: Ports 5.1 and 5.2
If other ports were used previously as ring ports, with the appropriate attachment, a
previously correctly configured device can cause circulating frames and therefore the failure
of the data
traffic.
Ring Ports
In the two drop-down lists, select the ports that will be used as ring ports.

(protection mode).

● Protection Mode
The observer function operates in protection mode
● Restart Observer
The observer function is reset and the protection mode is enabled again.

The "Observer Status" display box shows the current status of the observer:
● If the observer has not detected a problem, "passive" appears in the display.
● If the observer has detected a problem, "active" appears in the display.
● If the observer function is disabled, a small dash appears in the display.
