Installation and
Configuration
This chapter describes how to install and configure your FieldPoint
network module, connect it to an RS-232 or RS-485 network, and
connect power to the network module.
Installing the Network Module
The FieldPoint network modules have rugged, simple clips for
mounting reliably onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Follow these steps
to mount the network module onto a DIN rail. Terminal bases must be
connected to the network module before power is applied.
1. Use a flat-bladed screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the
unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1.

35 mm DIN rail and press the network module down onto the DIN
rail as shown in Figure 2-2.
