Operating Instructions for SCALANCE X-400 Industrial Ethernet Switches
142 C79000-G8976-C186-03
Redundancy manager
(RM)
Switch in a ring topology that does not forward any frames between its
ring ports if there are functioning connections between all other
switches. As soon as a connection between two switches is inter-
rupted, the redundancy manager forwards frames between its ring
ports and so restores an intact connection between all switches.
Ring port
Two ports in a switch via which it is connected with other switches to
form a ring. One switch must be configured as the redundancy man-
ager in the ring. This sends test frames via the ring ports that are for-
warded by all the ring ports of the other switches in the ring. This
makes sure that the ring does not have any interruptions.
Segment
In the Ethernet bus system, transceivers connected together over the
bus cable along with the nodes connected over patch cables form a
segment. Several such segments can be connected via repeaters.
When using twisted pair and fiber-optic cables, each subsection forms
a segment.
Signaling Contact
Floating relay contact via which the detected error states can be sig-
naled.
Single mode
In single mode transmission, the pulse is transmitted by a straight
mode (wave). Attenuation is mainly caused by physical absorption and
dispersion as well as by mechanical bending. The amount of attenua-
tion depends among other things on the wavelength of the input light.
Single mode fiber-optic cables have an outer diameter of 125 µm and 9
or 10 µm core diameter. The smaller core diameter degrades the pulse
edges less than multimode transmission and allows greater transmis-
sion distances.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol. Standardized protocol for
transporting network management information.
Spanning Tree
The Spanning Tree protocol (STP) allows redundant transmission
paths. This prevents circulating frames and, if a fault develops, pro-
vides an alternative path within 20 - 30 seconds (reconfiguration time).
