4. Enter values for Name, IP Address, Comm Format, Chassis Size,
Electronic Keying, and Revision, noting we used the following values.
Comm Format choices include:
• None – the adapter makes a direct connection to each of the
modules referenced by the data.
• Rack optimization – digital I/O data is collected into a rack image.
This does not include analog or specialty I/O modules.
• Listen only - rack optimization – read or verify data only, but does
not control the modules. When you have multiple controllers, one
controller is used to control and the other controllers are used to
monitor.
5. Choose Rack Optimization as Comm Format, because we are making a
mixed connection that includes both a direct connection and
rack-optimized connection.
6. Click OK.
The Module Properties dialog opens.

The Slot field appears grey because the slot is automatically 0 for the
1734-AENT adapter.
IMPORTANT
The chassis size equals 1 for the adapter plus the number of
POINT I/O modules installed (physically present on the
POINT I/O backplane).
