There are two USB host ports facing down to connect to external devices, such as ADs. The USB device port on the front is intended for program download from a PC by means of Device Administrator. It is connected to a PC or a downstream port of a hub.
The Ethernet communication is performed over a 10/100BaseTX, 10 or 100 Mbps, twisted pair network. The network is connected to the Automation Server by an RJ45 connector.
