Using Communication Redundancy
Setting up Communication Redundancy on your network helps protect critical links against failure,
protects against network loops, and keeps network downtime at a minimum.
The Communication Redundancy function allows the user to set up redundant loops in the
network to provide a backup data transmission route in the event that a cable is inadvertently
disconnected or damaged. This is a particularly important feature for industrial applications, since
it could take several minutes to locate the disconnected or severed cable. For example, if MOXA
EDS-518A is used as a key communications component of a production line, several minutes of
downtime could cause a big loss in production and revenue. MOXA EDS-518A supports two
different protocols for this communication redundancy function—Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
(IEEE-802.1w) and Turbo Ring.
