as 0 (MVI56E-FLN is in-ring)
Setting a value of 1 to
FLNETMODULE.CONTROL.In_Out_RingCommand
controller tag will set the MVI56E-FLN module as out-ring:
Firmware Version 1.04 or higher:
The out-ring state can be checked by the
FA Link status which now indicates that all bits are set to 0 (out-ring).
Older Versions :
