* In a redundant CPU configuration, the Client should be connected to both the primary side
(PC-LAN CPU1) and the secondary side (PC-LAN CPU2) and send control commands to both.
Normally, the secondary side can only be connected and does not respond to commands, but
if an error occurs and the CPU switches to the secondary side, the secondary side will accept
control and respond.
