Star Topology
In this example, the devices are connected by using star topology. Each device is
connected directly to the switch.
Kinetix 5100 drives have dual-ports, so linear topology is maintained from drive-
to-drive, but Kinetix 5100 drives and other devices operate independently. The
loss of one device does not impact the operation of other devices.
