Confirm that the switch port supports 10 Mbps and can accommodate the required duplex mode; do not assume compatibility from the RJ-45 connector alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ2. Is a shielded Ethernet cable required?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. The supplied specification calls for 100-ohm unshielded twisted-pair cable. Follow the system installation manual and site EMC requirements when selecting and routing the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ3. Can the module communicate with every Modbus device?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. Modbus is listed among its communication functions, but the provided data does not identify the supported Modbus variant or configuration limits. Verify the required protocol implementation and data mapping for the target device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ4. What information should be sent when requesting a replacement quote?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. Provide the ALE111-S50 model, host-unit designation, system revision if known, connected equipment, and intended communication function. Include a photo of the existing module label when available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ5. What is the practical effect of the 100 m segment limit?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA. The specified link is limited to one segment of up to 100 m between the stated endpoints.
