4.5 Redundancy
RS2-4R
Release 1.0 03/04
4.5.2 Redundant ring structure – HIPER-Ring
The two ends of a backbone in a line-type configuration can be closed to form
a redundant ring by using the RM function (Redundancy Manager) of the
RS2-4R.
Fig. 39: Redundant ring structure
The RS2-4R is integrated into the HIPER-Ring via the HIPER-Ring ports
(
ports 3 and 4). It is possible to mix the RS1, RS2-16M, RS2-../.. , MACH
3000 and MICE in any combination within the HIPER-Ring. If a line section
fails, the ring structure of up to 50 Switches transforms back to a line-type
configuration within 0.5
seconds.
Note: The "HIPER-Ring" function requires the following setting for ports 15
and 16:
100 Mbit/s, full duplex and autonegotiation off (= settings on delivery).
