Creating Routing Tables Section 3-8
3-8-2 Connecting and Using a Peripheral Device for the PC
Routing tables must be created by a CX-Net connected to the PC. (They can-
not be created using a Programming Console.) For details on how to connect
and use a CX-Net, refer to the CX-Programmer User’s Manual. (CX-Net is
automatically installed when CX-Programmer is installed.)
Note 1. To transfer routing tables for multiple nodes to a PC in one batch, connect
the CX-Net to a PC with only one Communications Unit mounted. Routing
tables cannot be transferred to other nodes from a PC with multiple Com-
munications Units mounted.
2. Routing tables can only be transferred as a batch to multiple nodes within
the same network as the PC to which the CX-Net is connected.
