format required by the Series B adapter after following these steps:
1. Upgrade your version of RSNetWorx to version 4.01 or later.
2. Open up the RSNetWorx file (*.dnt) that contains the Series A adapter’s configuration.
If no previously saved RSNetWorx file is available, go online with the Series A adapter
and upload it’s configuration and save it.
3. Replace the Series A adapter with the Series B adapter following the steps on page
4. Go online with RSNetWorx and browse the network.
RSNetWorx reports that there is a mismatch for the node address where the adapter
was replaced.
5. Double-click on the mismatched/replaced node.
6. Choose OK when asked to resolve the mismatch.
RSNetWorx updates the configuration and display the adapter’s General tab on its
property page, as noted in the message log window.
