Network Interface User’s Guide.

WARNING: Only one application can use a network interface at a time,

so if you connect the Mini Application to a network interface, you cannot

use that network interface with other applications. You must exit the
Mini Application to make a connected network interface available to

other applications. Multiple LNS applications can share a network

interface, but they cannot share a network interface with applications
that are not based on the LNS network operating system such as the

Mini Application.

WARNING: If you want to use a PCC-10, PCLTA-20, or PCLTA-21

network interface, you must configure it as a layer 5 interface. See the

Mini EVK Hardware Guide for more information on this.
