Configuration 3: PCU with TCU on NCU

Description
In this configuration, a switch is also required for the system network. All components are

supplies the TCU with an IP address and serves as a boot server for the TCU.
The observations made for configuration 3 also apply here in relation to the connection to the
company network. The connection to a switch on the company network is made via a straight
Ethernet cable.

NCU for the TCU, as described in the following chapter:
