With two ports
By mounting an Ethernet unit on the present V8i, a new network can be additionally established
without the need for changing the current Ethernet network. As a result, a LAN can easily be designed
in the office so as to enable the computer installed in the office to monitor the factory.
With an additional
Ethernet unit mounted, a
network that achieves
remote monitoring
through the host
computer can simply be
established.
