Commands execute based on the action argument, which controls Ethernet functions. After
issuing an ETHCTL command, the Ethernet error codes will be checked to determine the state
of Object 2304h, sub-index 3, bit 6 (Ethernet error).
Specific features are based on the fieldbus network being used. See the corresponding
SmartMotor fieldbus guide for more details.
