Figure 2: CEP001 Underside View
The two external Ethernet ports are on the bottom of the module. Each port on an RX3i CEP
Carrier operates independently, so devices that operate at different speeds and/or duplex
modes can be attached to the ports. By default, all ports are set for Automatic, which
enables auto-negotiation for the widest range of options supported by the port.
Connections to the RX3i CEP Carrier can be made using standard Cat 5/5e/6 shielded
twisted pair Ethernet cables. Each of the ports can be used to connect to different devices
on the same network. The PROFINET protocol can be sent and received over either or both

A PROFINET network can include three types of devices:
