2.4.1 Using CIPconnect to Connect to the Module
You can use CIPconnect ® to connect a PC to the MVI56E-MNET module over
Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756-ENBT EtherNet/IP ® module. This
allows you to configure the MVI56E-MNET module and network, upload and
download files, and view network and module diagnostics from a PC. RSLinx is
not required when you use CIPconnect. All you need are:
 The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
 The ControlNet node numbers and slot numbers of any 1756-CNBx
ControlNet Bridge modules in the path
 The slot number of the MVI56E-MNET in the destination ControlLogix chassis
(the last ENBT/CNBx and chassis in the path).
To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
