Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder locates MVI56E-MNET 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 routing of the UDP broadcast messages.
