(4)   Link scan time
Link scan time is based on a calculation of the following factors.
•  Link device allotment points
•  Number of stations connected

1: It ranges from the first address to the end of the device with allocation setting
by the common parameters. (If there are empty areas midway, they are
included in the number)
2: If simultaneous transient transmissions are performed from multiple stations
during one link scan, it totals the data length of the sending and receiving
frames. 0 when not used.
3: Set the maximum number of stations that return to system in a link scan
using the supplementary settings in the common parameters. (Refer to
section 5.1.4.)
