EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Introduction

Overview

As the world’s network and information technology becomes more mature, the trend is to use Ethernet as the major communications interface in many industrial communications and automation applications. In fact, a whole new industry has sprung up to provide Ethernet products that comply with the requirements of demanding industrial applications.

The EDS-510A comes equipped with 3 gigabit Ethernet ports. Two of the ports can be used for building a redundant Gigabit ring called Gigabit Turbo Ring, which gives system maintainers a convenient means of setting up a versatile yet stable Gigabit Ethernet network. With Gigabit Turbo Ring, if any segment of the network gets disconnected, your automation system will be back to normal in under 300 ms. The third Gigabit Ethernet port can be a uplink port, which can give 1000 Mbps link capability for transmitting all of the data to the control center. By providing this third Gigabit Ethernet port, the EDS-510A can help the user build a complete Gigabit Ethernet backbone network.

Chapter 2 Getting Started

This chapter explains how to access the EDS-510A for the first time. There are three ways to access the switch: serial console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the EDS-510A to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the EDS-510A’s IP address. The Telnet cons ole a n d web browser connection methods can be used to access the EDS-510A over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Configuration using a Telnet Console

You may use Telnet to access the EDS-510A’s console utility over a network. To be able to access the EDS’s functions over the network (by Telnet or web browser) from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as the EDS-510A, you need to make sure that the PC host and the EDS-510A are on the same logical subnet. To do this, check your PC host’s IP address and subnet mask. By default, the EDS-510A’s IP address is 192.168.127.253 and the EDS-510A’s subnet mask is

255.255.255.0 (for a Class C network). If you do not change these values, and your PC host’s subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then its IP address must have the form 192.168.xxx.xxx. On the other hand, if your PC host’s subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then its IP address must hav e the form

192.168.127.xxx.

NOTE

To use the EDS-510A’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the same LAN as the EDS-510A, you must make sure that the PC host and the EDS-510A are connected to the same logical subnet.

Before accessing the console utility via Telnet, first connect one of the EDS-510A’s RJ45 Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or directly to your PC’s Ethernet card (NIC). You can us e either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.

The EDS-510A’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253.

Perform the following steps to access the console utility via Telnet.

1. Click Start Æ Run, and then telnet to the EDS-510A’s IP address from the Windows Run

window. (You may also issue the telnet command from the MS-DOS prompt.)

2. Type 1 to choose ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.

3. The Console login screen will appear. Press Enter to open the Account pop-up selector and

Chapter 3 Featured Functions

In this chapter, we explain how to access the EDS-510A’s c onfiguration options, perform monitoring, and use administration functions. There are three ways to access these functions: RS-232 console, Telnet console, and web browser. The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the EDS-510A to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the EDS-510A’s IP address. The Telnet console and web browser connection methods can be used to access the EDS-510A over an Ethernet LAN, or over the Internet.

The web console is the most user-friendly way to configure the EDS-510A. In this chapter, we use the web console interface to introduce the functions. There are only a few differences between the web console, serial console, and Telnet console.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

Accessible IP

The EDS-510A uses an IP address-based filtering method to control access to the EDS-510A units.

Accessible IP Settings allows you to add or remove “Legal” remote host IP addresses to prevent unauthorized access. Access to the EDS-510A is controlled by IP address. If a host’s IP address is in the accessible IP table, then the host will be allowed access to the EDS-510A. You can allow one of the following cases by setting this parameter:

y Only one host with the specified IP address can access the EDS-510A

E.g., enter “192.168.1.1/255.255.255.255” to allow access to just the IP address 192.168.1.1.

y Any host on a specific subnetwork can access the EDS-510A

E.g., enter “192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0” to allow access to all IPs on the subnet defined by this IP address/subnet mask combination.

y Any host can access the EDS-510A

Disable this function by deselecting the Enable the accessible IP list option. The following table shows additional configuration examples:

The EDS-510A has a time calibration function based on information from an NTP server or user specified Time and Date information. Functions such as Auto warning “Email” can add real-time information to the message.

NOTE

The EDS-510A does not have a real time clock. The user must update the Current Time and Current Date to set the initial time for the EDS-510A after each reboot, especially when the network does not have an Internet connection for an NTP server or there is no NTP server on the LAN.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch

The EDS-510A series switches 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 the EDS-510A’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.

To switch on the Master or Coupler functions of the DIP switch, you must enable the Turbo Ring DIP Switch first.

If you do not enable any of the EDS-510A switches to be the Ring Master, the Turbo Ring protocol will automatically choose the EDS-510A with the smallest MAC address range to be the Ring Master. If you accidentally enable more than one EDS-510A to be the Ring Master, these EDS-510A switches will auto-negotiate to determine which one will be the Ring Master.

NOTE

The Turbo Ring Ports and Coupling Ports will be added to all VLANs if you enable the “Turbo Ring DIP Switch” and set Turbo Ring DIP Switch from OFF to ON.

If you enable the Hardware DIP Switch for Turbo Ring and set the Turbo Ring DIP Switch from ON to OFF, then the Ring Ports and Coupling Ports which are added to all VLANs are restored to their previous software settings. (For details on how to do this, please refer to “Using Virtual LAN.”)

System File Update—By Remote TFTP

The EDS-510A supports saving your configuration file to a remote TFTP server or local host to allow other EDS-510A switches to use the same configuration at a later time, or saving the Log file for future reference. Loading pre-saved firmware or a configuration file from the TFTP server or local host is also supported for easy upgrading or confi gurat i o n of the EDS -5 10A .

Using Port Trunking

Link Aggregation allows one or more links to be aggregated together to form a Link Aggregation Group. A MAC client can treat Link Aggregation Groups as if they were a single link.

The EDS-510A’s Port Trunking feature allows devices to communicate by aggregating up to 4 trunk groups, with a maximum of 8 ports for each group (due to the interface limitation, there is a limit of 3 gigabit ports or 7 10/100 Mbps ports for each Trk trunk group). If one of the 8 ports fails,

3-13

EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions

the other seven ports will provide back up and share the traffic automatically. Port trunking can be used to combine up to 8 ports between two EDS-510A switches. If all ports

on both switch units are configured as 100BaseTX and they are operating in full duplex, the potential bandwidth of the connection will be 800 Mbps.

The Port Trunking Concept

Moxa has developed a proprietary Port Trunking protocol that provides the following benefits:

y Gives you more flexibility in setting up your network connections, since the bandwidth of a

link can be doubled, tripled, or qua dr u pl e d.

y Provides redundancy—if one link is broken, the remaining trunked ports share the traffic

within this trunk group.

y Load sharing—MAC Client traffic may be distributed across multiple links. y To avoid broadcast storms or loops in your network while configuring a trunk, first disable or

disconnect all ports that you want to add to the trunk or remove from the trunk. After you finish configuring the trunk, enable or re-connect the ports.

If all ports on both switch units are configured as 100BaseTX and they are operating in full duplex, the potential bandwidth of the connection will be up to 800 Mbps on the EDS-510A. This means that users can connect one EDS to another EDS by Port Trunking to double, triple, or quadruple the bandwidth of the connection.

When configuring Port Trunking, note that Each EDS-510A can set a maximum of 4 Port Trunking groups (designated Trk1, Trk2, Trk3, Trk4)

When you activate Port Trunking settings, some advanced functions that you set up with the original ports will either be set to factory default values, or disabled:

y Communication Redundancy will be set to the factory default y Traffic Prioritization will be set to the factory default y Port-based VLAN or 802.1Q VLAN will be set to the factory default y Multicast Filtering will be set to the factory default y Rate Limiting will be set to the factory default y Port Access Control will be set to the factory default y Email and Relay Warning will be set to the factory default y Set Device IP will be set to the factory default y Mirror Port will be set to the factory default

You can setup these features again on your Trunking Port.
