Star Topology
In this example, the devices are connected by using star topology. Each device is
connected directly to the switch.
Kinetix 5500 drives have dual ports, so linear topology is maintained from drive-
to-drive, but Kinetix 5500 drives and other devices operate independently. The
loss of one device does not impact the operation of other devices.
