Figures 1.4 through 1.6 on the following pages show
various network configurations for a simple Ethernet-based
network configuration.
NOTE: An Ethernet-based RMS system is
more complex from a design standpoint
and must conform to Ethernet network design
specifications (beyond the scope of this guide). A
general knowledge of Ethernet networks is very
helpful if you plan to deploy an Ethernet-based
system.
