8.1 Brief introduction of DT-Ring protocol family

Industrial field communication requires reliable communication and fast recovery from
failure. In some areas, the data diversion, isolation and load balance are also required. The
STP/RSTP/MSTP protocols cannot meet requirements above very well. DT-Ring protocol
family is KYLAND's private communication protocol, and it is customized for industrial
communication. This family includes DT-Ring, DT-Ring+ and DT-VLAN.

8.2 Introduction of DT-Ring

DT-Ring protocol is KYLAND's private communication protocol. It can detect the ring ports
link status in a short time through less protocol messages, and switch the status of the ring
connection. DT-Ring can realize the fast recovery and easy maintenance meeting the
requirements of industrial communication.
Figure 8-1 displays a DT-Ring topology. One of the switches is configured as master while
others as slave.
Configuration instructions:
Several domains are supported in one switch, and the tangent ring can be supported in

this way.
