The Realtek Remote Control Protocol (RRCP) is a simple control
protocol proposed to enhance the functionalities of Realtek’s dumb
Layer 2 switches by software. The EE2400-SS Management
Application is a Window-based software package that implements
RRCP functions at the management host side. The EE2400-SS
Management Application gives network administrators the ability to
configure and monitor dumb layer 2 switches like intelligent
switches. Getting start with ManagementApplication.
First insert CD and install WinPcap 3.0. Then, install RMS Program.
After you install Management Application on your computer, an
application folder is placed on the desktop. To start Management
Application, do the following: Double-click the ‘RRCP’ folder on the
desktop, and double-click the ‘RMS’ icon in the folder.

Management Software Overview
Select an Adapter
You can select one network adapter. The adapters are displayed in the
combo box.
Show Switch Status
The Management Application shows one switch’s information at one time.
So, you must select a switch using the combo-box witch displayed switches
discovered in the network.

Overview
!Discovered device information:
List all switches founded in the network. You can rename the switches by
double-click the item in the list box.
!Network topology link vector:
Show the link status of the switches.
!Update button
If you want to know the newest switch’s information of the network, press
the Update button.
!Switch database button
You can view the switch database. The database dialog box displays the
switch’s name, MAC address and authentication Key.
MIB Counter
You can view the MIB counter about the RX, TX and Diagnostic Counter. Click the
Diagnostic Counter column header, there are three objects you can select, such as
Drop Count, CRC Error Count and Collision count.
!Byte Count Button
You can set the unit of the RX and TC counter to Byte count.
!Packet Count Button
You can set the unit of the RX and TC counter to Packet count.
!Bandwidth Utilization Button
This is displayed in the per-port traffic utilization. It will set the TX, RX and
Diagnostic Counter to utilization mode.

!About Polling
You can start counter by click the ‘Start’ button, and click the ‘Stop Button’ to
stop. The Clear Counter button is use to clear all MIB counters, it will reset
the counters to 0. Polling interval button is used to set the time interval for
the frequency of queried.
Port Status
You can view the port status of the switch that you select. The list box will show the
status of port1, port2…, and port26. The port status includes port type, enabled
status, link status, speed duplex, flow control, TX bandwidth control, Rx bandwidth
control, and trunk setting status.

Port Configuration
Press the ‘Configuration’ button, and you will see a dialog like follows. Put the
check in the item you want to configure.
Flow Control:
!None : No flow control
Asymmetric to Link Partner : A relationship between linked network devices
in which only the device that is connected to the switch can send pause frames.
Symmetric: A relationship between linked network devices in which both
devices can send and receive pause frames.
Asymmetric to Local Device: A relationship between linked network devices
in which only the switch can send pause frames to devices connected to the
switch.

!Tx Bandwidth Control: Controls on speed of packets being
transferred.
!Rx Bandwidth Control: Controls on speed of packets being received.
!Trunking: Trunk ports together to allow increased bandwidth through
the switch, or to connect multiple switches together to increase
VLAN capabilities.
Global Configuration
Global Configuration is used to configure the global port control registers. Press the
‘Refresh’ button to read the status of the registers. Press the ‘Update’ button to set
the registers as shown in this frame.
Half Duplex Backpressure Flow:
This is used to have nodes verify there is buffer space before packets are sent.
Broadcast Storm Filtering Control:
This is used to set a threshold for the number of broadcast packets to be received
from 1 port before port forwarding is blocked.

QoS Configuration
QoS Configuration is used to configure the QoS control registers. Press the
‘Refresh’ button to read the status of the registers. Press the ‘Update’ button to set
the registers.
The EE2400-SS can recognize QoS priority information from the incoming packets
to send the packet to different priority queue for different service priority. The
EE2400-SS identifies the packet’s priority based on 3 type of QoS priority
information: 1) Port based priority; 2)802.1p/Q VLAN tag; 3) The TCP/IP
TOS/DiffServ (DS) priority field. These 3 types of QoS can be configured by
hardware pins, EEPROM or Registers 0x0400, 0x0401.
EE2400-SS support 2 level priority queues. The queue service rate is based on the
packet based Weighted Round Robin algorithm. The packet based service weight
ratio of high-priority and low-priority queuing can be set as 4:1, 8:1, 16:1 or "Always
high priority first”.
