Connection
The two RJ45 network connectors [1, 2] establish the connection to the network. For a redundant connection a
network cable should be plugged into each of the plugs [1] and [2]. These network cables should connect on the
other side to a redundant network. In case of a failure of one connection the other connection will take over the
complete network traffic.
If a redundant connection is not required either plug [1] or plug [2] can be used for the connection.
Both plugs use the same IP and MAC address, thus no configuration in regard of the used plug is required.
