The CIPconnect Path Editor allows you to define the path between the PC and
the MVI56E-MNETCR module. The first connection from the PC is always a
1756-ENBT (Ethernet/IP) module.
Each row corresponds to a physical rack in the CIP path.
If the MVI56E-MNETCR module is located in the same rack as the first 1756-
ENBT module, select R ACK N O . 1 and configure the associated parameters.
If the MVI56E-MNETCR is available in a remote rack (accessible through
ControlNet or Ethernet/IP), include all racks (by using the A DD R ACK button).
