1.7 Connect your PC to the Module
With the module securely mounted, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
C
ONFIG (E1) Port, and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch accessible from
the same network as your PC. Or, you can connect directly from the Ethernet
Port on your PC to the C
ONFIG (E1) Port on the module.
1.8 Set Temporary IP Address
Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder locates MVI56E-MNETR modules through UDP
broadcast messages. These messages may be blocked by routers or layer 3 switches. In that
case, ProSoft Discovery Service will be unable to locate the modules.
To use ProSoft Configuration Builder, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router/
layer 3 switch between the computer and the module OR reconfigure the router/layer 3 switch to
allow the routing of the UDP broadcast messages.
