Note: If the list of configured drivers is blank, you must first choose and configure a driver from the
Available Driver Types list. The recommended driver type to choose for serial communication with
the processor is "RS-232 DF1 Devices".

3 Click to select the driver, and then click Configure. This action opens the

Configure Allen-Bradley DF1 Communications Device dialog box.

4 Click the Auto-Configure button. RSLinx will attempt to configure your serial

port to work with the selected driver.

5 When you see the message "Auto Configuration Successful", click the OK

button to dismiss the dialog box.

Note: If the auto-configuration procedure fails, verify that the cables are connected correctly
between the processor and the serial port on your computer, and then try again. If you are still
unable to auto-configure the port, refer to your RSLinx documentation for further troubleshooting
steps.
