RSLinx – Training Guide 99
The Services Tab gives the option of starting RSLinx as an NT Service each time your
system is started. If you are using RSLinx as a server, it must be running as an NT
service.
It is usually recommended to run RSLinx as a service on NT and Remote OPC works
best when RSLinx is run as a service.
Running RSLinx as a service requires no user logon, and user logoff will NOT
automatically close RSLinx. Remember, though, to stop the RSLinx service when
moving ANY Rockwell Software activation
• See note below on how to do it…
Important: When running RSLinx as a service on an NT operating system, do not
open it as an application! It can be opened and shut down by right
clicking the icon in the taskbar system tray (far lower right of screen).
