(Note 1) Switching between different speeds is done automatically by auto negotiation function.
(Note 2) The standards cite 100 m as the maximum, but noise resistance measures such as attaching a ferrite core
may be necessary in some cases, depending on the usage environment. Also, it is recommended to position a
hub near the control board, and limit the length within 10 m
(Note 3) Used when connecting tool software via LAN.
