POINT

If the external device communicates normally, the following conditions occur.

For TCP communication

When the external device's open status is complete, LEDs C1, C2, which are in

correspondence with connections 1, 2, turn on.

For UDP communication

When external device communication is possible, LEDs C1, C2, which are in

correspondence with connections 1, 2 turn on.
