Enter token detection time:
Period of time for checking whether the network is operating.
Round:
Rounds are determined with respect to the time at which the token addressed to the lowest
node number is received.
Enter request frame transmission wait time:
A enter request frame transmission takes place after an elapse of [self-node number ×
4 ms] in order to avoid a conflict with any other newly entering node.

(2) Leaving from FL-net
A node number check is conducted upon each token frame reception. If the token frame is not
received from a certain node three successive times, that node is considered to have left from
the FL-net (including a case where a token holder node does not transmit the token even after
an elapse of the token monitoring time).
When a node is considered to have left from the network as explained above, the information
about that node is deleted from the management tables.
