CONFIGURING A VFG9000-DN OPTION CARD
The VFG9000-DN is configured using Fieldbus Gateway Manager software.
Updates to the software for new features and drivers are posted on the website
as they become available. By configuring the VFG9000-DN using the latest
version of the software, you are assured that your unit has the most up-to-date
feature set. Fieldbus Gateway Manager software can configure the VFG9000-
DN through the RS232 PGM port, USB port, Ethernet port, or CompactFlash
socket on your Fieldbus Gateway. Additional information can be found in your
Fieldbus Gateway hardware bulletin and the Fieldbus Gateway Manager user
manual.
