X-Ring Application Examples

Case Communications Resilient X-Ring Application Examples

The network diagram below depicts a resilient ring with ‘Dual Homing’ to the control room switch. If either ring switch connected to the control room switch were to fail the other switch would allow the ring to continue communications within a few milli-seconds.
X-Ring provides a highly resilient Ring of up to 50 Case Communications Switches which allow for Network Auto Recovery in 10ms.

X-Ring used in Dual Homing mode to support ticket machines

The network example below is for a station ticket machine network. Here we have dual rings each ‘dual homed’ to the control room switch. For large networks use VLANS or a layer three switch to help break up the traffic.
