The default value of the transmission destination is specified as
192.168.250.255.
Remarks: For the IP address, it is recommended that class C is used and that
the lower host address is matched with the FA link protocol node No
MAC address
As the MAC address, the default set in the unit is used.

3.4 FL-net Node Configuration Parameters
3.4.1 Node Number
Node number is set by software configuration file (FLNET.CFG) using
HyperTerminal. As the initial value, a node number is set from the FA link
protocol upper layer. Without a node number, the node is inoperable. When a
node number conflict is detected before joining the network, it does not transmit
any frame. The range of the node address is 1 to 254.
3.4.2 Top address and data size of common memory transmitting
area
These parameters can be set from the upper layer or by a network parameter
write message.
When nodes receive a network parameter write message for setting these
parameters, the node secedes from the network and rejoins this network in the
halfway participation status.
Unless they are set from the upper layer, the node is regarded as having no
transmitting area. At this time, however, a token is exchanged.
