(Note 1) FL-net expansion unit is equipped with two RJ-45 connectors (LAN1 and LAN2); however, the function of FL-
net is available only on LAN1. Do not connect any cable to LAN2 port.
[Noise countermeasures of ethernet cable]
When the FL-net expansion unit is being used, expose the cable by removing a part of the cable sheath and make
sure to use the shield clamp for the exogenous noise countermeasure.
When you cannot use the shield clamp, make sure to install a ferrite core as a substitute to ethernet cable (near the
expansion unit).
