Note: When you use the DIP switch to switch from a normal port to a ring
port, the device makes the required settings for the pre-defined ring ports in
the configuration table. The port which has been switched back from a ring
port to a normal port keeps the ring port settings (transmission speed and
mode). Independently of the DIP switch setting, you can still change all the
ports via the software.
The displays in the “Redundancy Manger Status” frame mean:
– “Active (redundant line)”: The ring is open, which means that a data
line or a network component within the ring is down.
– “Inactive”: The ring is closed, which means that the data lines and
network components are working.
The displays in the “Information” frame mean
– “Redundancy existing”: One of the lines affected by the function can
fail, whereby the redundant line will then take over the function of the
failed line.
– “Configuration failure”: The function is incorrectly configured or there
is an error in the ring port connection.
