Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to one embodiment, a node is capable of conforming to one of a plurality of Ethernet standards and includes: an Ethernet controller unit that performs auto-negotiation with a switch to exchange information concerning an interface speed, to determine an interface speed to be used based on the information concerning the interface speed, and to receive information including a setting Ethernet standard set as an Ethernet standard to be used; a storage unit that stores a node's available Ethernet standard which is an Ethernet standard to which the node can conform; and a controller that performs setting such that the node operates using a coincident standard between the Ethernet standard stored in the storage unit and setting Ethernet standard and connects a link to the switch.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A node including an application execution section and/or an upper layer protocol processing section capable of operating by conforming to one of a plurality of Ethernet standards for industrial applications, the node comprising: an Ethernet controller unit that performs auto-negotiation with a switch to exchange, in a Fast Link Pulse (FLP) format, information concerning an interface speed, to determine an interface speed to be used based on the information c…
