5.1.1. Redundant configuration of switching hubs
In the connection example below, the LAN Link A and B connectors of each unit are individually connected
to different switching hubs. By using switching hubs with failure status output function, if any one of switching
hubs fails or the main line breaks, such a failure can be detected.
