4. The Transceiver Type field only applies to U20 interfaces. Select PL-

20C if you must comply with the European CENELEC EN50065-1
regulations. Select PL-20N if you do not need to comply with these

regulations. PL-20N channels offer slightly higher message

throughputs than PL-20C channels, so normally you would use PL-
20N if you can do so.

Most users do not need to change the Neuron

processor’s buffer sizes

and counts from their defaults, as these defaults comply with

International’s interoperability guidelines. However, if

the devices on your network require larger message and buffer sizes,

you might want to change the interface buffer sizes and counts.

To do so, use the Application Buffers and Network Buffers boxes to

set the number and size of the input, output and priority buffers on
the USB interface.

The total buffer memory allocation and the buffer memory available

will be displayed on the dialog as you configure these settings. If you
choose a configuration that exceeds the available buffer memory, a

warning icon will appear. The dialog will not allow you to allocate in

excess of the available buffer memory. You can click Restore
Defaults
at any time to return to the default buffer configuration.
