Setting up direct driver communications

To set a configured channel’s network type to None Loaded, first
issue the ComStatusOff command. Because setting a configured
channel’s network type to None Loaded deletes all the comstatus
system tags from the tag database, you cannot set a configured
channel’s network type to None Loaded if the ComStatusOn
command has been issued.
To run a SoftLogix 5 controller with RSLinx and RSView32,
configure the TCP/IP channel and use the SOFT5 driver or the
AB_ETH driver.
For the SOFT5 driver, when configuring the SoftLogix 5 driver in
RSLinx, enter the IP address or UNC name of the SoftLogix 5
controller in the Internet Address Mapping table.
If the SoftLogix 5 controller is not running on the same computer
as RSLinx, the Windows
® XP, Windows 2000 user account that is
running RSLinx must be a member of the SoftLogix
Administrators group on the SoftLogix 5 computer.
For the AB_ETH driver, when configuring the Ethernet driver in
RSLinx, enter the IP address of the SoftLogix 5 controller in the
Internet Address Mapping table. You must also enable the
WinSock TCP/IP driver in SoftLogix 5.

Of the four communication channels you can configure, only
one can be configured for TCP/IP. For example, you cannot
configure one channel for TCP/IP and another for a TCP/IP
bridge. IMPORTANT
