Precautions for Correct Use
Adjust the built-in EtherNet/IP port's link settings to match the communications mode settings of
the connected Ethernet switch. If the settings do not match, the link will be unstable and prevent
normal communications. The following table shows the allowed settings for each Ethernet
switch communications mode.
