Initial Setup
The user does not need to set the master to use Turbo Ring. Master is only needed to identify
which segment acts as the backup path. The actual topology of the redundant ring, i.e., which
segment will be blocked, is determined by the number of EDSs that make up the ring and where
the “Ring Master” is located.
When the number of EDS units in the Turbo Ring is even.
If there are 2N EDS units
(an even number) in the Turbo Ring,
then the backup segment is one of the
two segments connected to the
(N+1)st EDS (i.e., the EDS unit
directly opposite the Master).
1. Select any two ports as
redundant ports.
2. Connect the redundant
ports to form the
