There are several ways to establish communication between your PC and the
ControlLogix processor. The following steps show how to establish communication
through the serial interface. It is not mandatory that you use the processor's serial
interface. You may access the processor through whatever network interface is available
on your system. Refer to your Rockwell Automation documentation for information on
other connection methods.
