1. Not more than 32 pairs of node number and IP addresses can be registered
in the IP address table, so that limits the number of nodes, including the local
node, to 32.
2. The correspondences must be preset, or the remote FINS node numbers
will not be recognized.
The combined method incorporates both the automatic generation method and
the IP address table method. It first refers to the IP address table, and if there is
an applicable FINS address, it reads the corresponding IP address. If there is no
applicable FINS address, it uses the automatic generation method to calculate
an IP address.

Overview of Startup Procedure
1, 2, 3...
1. Determine the local IP address and the address conversion method.
Refer to 3-1 Before Operation.
2. Set the unit number of the Ethernet Unit as a CPU Bus Unit.
Refer to 3-4 Switch Settings.
3. Set the node address.
Refer to 3-4 Switch Settings.
4. Set the local IP address.
Refer to 3-4 Switch Settings.
5. Mount the Unit to the Backplane.
Refer to 3-5 Mounting to a Backplane.
6. Connect to the network. Connect the transceiver cable and external
24-VDC power supply.
Refer to 3-6 Connecting to the Network.
7. Turn ON the external 24-VDC power supply and turn ON power to the CPU
Unit. When turning ON the power supply, either first turn ON the external
power supply (i.e., the power to the transceiver), and then turn ON the power
to the CPU Unit afterwards, or else turn them both ON at the same time. If
the power is turned ON first to the CPU Unit, a communications error will be
generated.
8. Create the I/O tables using a Programming Device, such as a CX-Program-
mer or Programming Console. (This step can be omitted if the I/O table has
already been created.)
Refer to 3-7 Creating an I/O Table.
9. Create the routing tables using the CX-Programmer. (This step is required
only if FINS communications are used, or if CMND(490) is used by a PC with
multiple Communications Units mounted to it.)
Refer to 3-8 Creating Routing Tables.
