Unprotected Inline Network
An unprotected inline network consists of two ports of the inline-network type, which facilitate access to a bidirectional link between two networks (or more precisely, two far-end network devices).
Any available network type ports on a GigaVUE HC Series node can be configured to be inline-network type ports and combined to form an unprotected inline network. An unprotected inline network is shown in the following figure.
