3. Press
[Enter]
enter the length of fiber cable between
repeaters for any fiberĆoptic repeater
pairs that you specify
Important: The field(s) for fiberĆcable
length only appear if the number of
fiberĆoptic repeater pairs is not zero.
1. Move the cursor to the appropriate
Pair #x length
(meters)
field
2. Type a number between 100 and 25500 (the software
rounds up to the nearest 100)
3. Press
[Enter]
specify the NUTĊthe repetitive time
interval during which data can be sent
over the ControlNet network
Important: All nodes do not need to
transmit each NUI; however, the NUT
defines the minimum time during which a
node can transfer scheduled data.
1. Move the cursor to the
Network Update Time
(ms)
field
