The network devices at each end of an FC Bus segment must be set as network terminated devices. The network engine has one EOL switch for each of its FC Bus connections that sets the engine as a network terminated device on the bus.
To set a network engine as an FC Bus terminated device, position the switch on the EOL switch block to the ON position as shown in Figure 1.
Set the EOL switches appropriately for FC Bus-1 and, if present, FC Bus-2. The network engine follows the same rules as other switch-terminating devices listed in the Setting Terminations section of the MS/TP Communications Bus Technical Bulletin (LIT-12011034).
For the RS-485 connection, set the EOL termination to ON (or install an EOL terminator) for the two devices located at either end of each bus segment on an RS-485 bus. Set the EOL switches to off (or do not install an EOL terminator) for all other devices on the bus segment on an RS-485 bus.
