Turbo Ring DIP Switch
EDS-408A/405A series are plug-and-play managed redundant Ethernet switches. The proprietary
Turbo Ring protocol was developed by MOXA to provide better network reliability and faster
recovery time. MOXA Turbo Ring’s recovery time is less than 300 ms—compared to a 3- to
5-minute recovery time for commercial switches—decreasing the possible loss caused by network
failure.
A set of DIP Switches located on EDS-408A/405A’s outer casing can be easily used to configure
the Turbo Ring settings in only a few seconds. Some users may wish to disable the Turbo Ring
DIP Switches to avoid accidental changes to the configuration. To disable the DIP Switches, start
the user interface, and then click on Turbo Ring DIP Switch under Basic Settings. Next, select
the checkmark from the Disable the Turbo Ring DIP Switch checkbox.
