The execution of an Ether Link is based on the nodes in a network. If some of the ports that a node has are
connected to a network, users can set the start modes of the ports separately. When the Ether Link constructed
is executed, the system automatically distributes reading/writing work to the ports according to the start modes
of the ports. If a port is disconnected, the system will pass the work belonging to the port to another port.
There are three ways to set the start mode of a node.
