About the Encoder
Linear Topology
The linear topology uses the embedded switching capability to form a
daisy-chain style network that has a beginning and an end. Linear
topology simplifies installation and reduces wiring and installation costs,
but a break in the network disconnects all devices downstream from the
break. When this topology is used, both Ethernet connections on the
encoder may be used. For the network connection use Link 1, Link 2, or
both.
