POINT
(1) When the slave function of the QJ71MT91 is used to communicate with the
master device on another Ethernet, communication can be made without use of
the router relay function.
(2) A system using a Proxy router need not use the router relay function.
(3) The router relay function is not the function that operates the QJ71MT91 as a
router.
