Input type Defines the input type, whether unicast or multicast, for data sent
over the network. The default input type is unicast.
Unicast connections are point to point transmissions between a
source node and destination node on the network. A Frame is sent to
a single destination.
Multicast connections deliver information from one sender to
multiple receivers simultaneously. Copies of a single frame are
passed to a selected subset of possible destinations.
Note: The Input Type field cannot be updated for Listen Only and Input
Only connections.
Input trigger Specifies the type of data update. Input trigger is cyclic by default.
Data transfer is initiated on a time basis as defined by the requested
packet interval (RPI) value.
Note: This field cannot be edited on the Connection tab.
