Dual-Ring
Dual-Ring adds reliability by using a single Moxa switch to connect two separate rings for applications that
present cabling difficulties. It provides another ring coupling configuration where two adjacent rings can
share one switch. This typology is an ideal solution for applications that have inherent cabling difficulties.
How to Determine the Redundant Path
For Turbo Ring v2, the master is determined by two methods, one is a system MAC address election, the
smallest MAC address will play the Master role; the other is user manual configuration to enable Master role
on the switch.
The redundant path is determined by "Ring Port 2", which means the port set on "Ring Port 2" will become
the blocking port.
