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 consol e an 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:
RS-232 Console Configuration (115200, None, 8, 1, VT100)

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 192.168.127.2 53 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 have 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.
NOTE
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 use
either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.
NOTE
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.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Getting Started

3. The Console login screen will appear. Press Enter to open the Account pop-up selector and
then select either admin or user. Use the keyboard’s down arrow to move the cursor to the
Password field, enter the Console Password (this is the same as the Web Browser password;
leave the Password field blank if a console password has not been set), and then press Enter.
4. When the Main Menu of the EDS-510A’s console utility opens, click Terminal Æ
preferences… from the menu at the top of the window.
5. When the Terminal Preferences window opens, make sure that the VT100 Arrows option is
selected.
NOTE
The Telnet Console looks and operates in precisely the same manner as the RS-232 Console.
Configuration using a Web Browser
The EDS-510A’s web browser interface provides a convenient way to modify the switch’s
configuration and access the built-in monitoring and network administration functions. The
recommended web browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 with JVM (Java Virtual
Machine) installed.
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 on the
same logical subnet.
NOTE
If the EDS-510A is configured for other VLAN settings, you must make sure your PC host is on
the management VLAN.
NOTE
Before accessing the EDS-510A’s web browser interface, first connect one of the switch’s RJ45
Ethernet ports to your Ethernet LAN, or connect directly to your PC’s Ethernet card (NIC). You
can establish a connection using either a straight-through or cross-over Ethernet cable.

Chapter 3 Featured Functions
In this chapter, we explain how to access the EDS-510A’s configuration 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.

Turbo Ring DIP Switch
The Turbo Ring DIP Switch page allows users to disable the four DIP switches located on the
EDS’s outer casing. When enabled, the DIP switches can be used to configure basic settings for
either the “Turbo Ring” protocol or “Turbo Ring V2” protocol. A complete description of the
settings is given below.
EDS-510A Series User’s Manual Featured Functions
3-10
NOTE
The proprietary “Turbo Ring” protocol (recovery time < 300 ms) was developed by MOXA in
2003 to provide better network reliability and faster recovery time for redundant ring topologies.
The “Turbo Ring V2” protocol (recovery time < 20 ms), which was released in 2007, supports
additional redundant ring architectures.
In this manual, we use the terminology “Turbo Ring” ring and “Turbo Ring V2” ring to
differentiate between rings configured for one or the other of these protocols.
For a detailed description of “Turbo Ring” and “Turbo Ring V2” please refer to the Using
Communication Redundancy section later in this chapter.

NOTE
The Turbo Ring Ports and Coupling Ports will be added automatically to all VLANs if you set
DIP Switch 4 to the “ON” position.
NOTE
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
If you use the browser interface to enable the DIP switches (by un-checking the “Disable the
Turbo Ring DIP switch” checkbox), and then flip DIP switch 4 from ON to OFF, the Ring Ports
and Coupling Ports that were added to all VLANs will be restored to their previous software
settings. (For details, please refer to the “Using Virtual LANs” section of this manual).
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

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,
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.
