• For a system with a redundant Ethernet connection already configured:
◦ Check the Ethernet cabling has not been accidentally damaged or unplugged.
◦ Replace any damaged cables and ensure all Ethernet cables are plugged in securely.
◦ Check the Ethernet cabling used for the DEIF network has been correctly plugged in to the PCM
hardware module.
CAUTION
The Ethernet ports on the PSM are only used for internal communication.
◦ Check the Ethernet cables used for the connection meet the DEIF Ethernet network cable
specification.
◦
See Hardware, Ethernet cable in the Data sheet for more information about the type of
