Auto-Crossover
Auto-Crossover is a feature of an interface: An interface with Auto-
Crossover capability will automatically detect and correct if the data lines
have been exchanged vice versa.
Auto-Negotiation
Auto-Negotiation is a feature of an interface: An interface with Auto-
Negotiation will automatically determine a set of correct communication
parameters.
Baud rate
Data transmission speed of a communication channel or interface.
Boot loader
Program loading the firmware into the memory of a device in order to be
executed.
Ch0, Ch1 …
Within the configuration software SYCON.net the communication channels
are named ‚Ch0’, Ch1’ ….
For the Real-Time-Ethernet devices cifX, comX and netJACK and the Real-
Time Ethernet protocols used with it, the following shall apply:
‘Ch0’ in SYCON.net
: Both ports of the Ethernet RJ45 connector CH0 and
CH1 are assigned always to channel 0 in SYCON.net.
‘Ch1’ in SYCON.net
: Depending on the firmware channel 1 in SYCON.net
can be used as an additional communication channel.
CH0, CH1 (Ch0, Ch1)
Names for the ports of an Ethernet RJ45 socket with two Ethernet
channels.
CH0 stands for Ethernet channel 0.
CH1 stands for Ethernet channel 1.
