  Devices with Ethernet interfaces can have various pin assignments. In the case of terminal 
devices, for example, the send line may be on pins 1 and 2, while pins 1 and 2 on a switch or hub 
may connect to the receive line. If two devices are connected using Ethernet, the type of device 
will dictate whether a crossed or uncrossed Ethernet cable needs to be used. (For example, a 
crossed cable is required if two Ethernet terminal devices are directly connected.)

The MAC addresses are imprinted on an adhesive label that is located behind the protective 
cover and can be seen from the front. 
 
When connecting a PG/PC via Ethernet, the following points must be observed: 
●  If your PG/PC has an autocrossing function, crossed and uncrossed Ethernet cables can 
be used. 
●  If your PG/PC does not have autocrossing, a crossed Ethernet cable must be used. 
●  If a hub or switch is located in between, an uncrossed Ethernet cable must be used 
(assuming the hub/switch does not have autocrossing).
