List of Functions
This section describes the overview of each function to be set and set values that can be registered in user
types.
• About default “HOST” function
You can operate this by the setting value specified in RIP software.
When you set to other than “HOST”, it operates by that setting value, not by the instruction from RIP
software.
Depending on RIP software, there are some functions that cannot be instructed by software. In such a
case, it operates by the setting value of “When no instruction from RIP exists”.
• For the specifying method with the RIP software, refer to the operation manual of the RIP software.
