Network
The QuadCore is a network capable device. A network connection between
between a computer and the unit is required to configure and program the
QuadCore, however, once the device is programmed then it is not necessary
anymore for the QuadCore to be connected to an Ethernet network.
There are multiple arrangements possible for connecting the computer and the
QuadCore. They can be connected peer-to-peer, via a network switch or via
Wi-Fi. Figure 5.1 illustrates these different arrangements.

The Ethernet port on the QuadCore is auto-sensing; it does not matter whether
a cross or straight network-cable is being used. Although the Ethernet port is
classified as 100 Mbps, buffer limits may apply for specific tasks as API messages.
