Chapter 4 Set Up Your EtherNet/IP Network
Configure a Driver for the Network
1. Start RSLinx software.
For the RSLinx software to locate new devices on the EtherNet/IP
network, the driver can be set up (browse the remote subnet option) to
look for a specific IP address and mask.
2. Click Configure Driver.
3. From the Available Driver Types pull-down menu, choose the driver for
your network.
4. Configure the driver.
The settings you make are dependent upon the network you choose and
whether you are using a communication card or interface module.
Make Sure the Driver Works
1. Check the Configure Drivers dialog box to make sure that the driver is
running.
2. Close the dialog box.
3. Open the RSWho dialog box.
4. Double-click the driver to see the network.

TIP
You can configure the driver by using the Remote Subnet selection and
by setting the IP address and mask to the value of the SmartGuard
controller. This lets RSLinx software quickly find the device.
IMPORTANT
The SmartGuard controllers must not be directly connected to any network
that is not protected from outside intrusion. For example, do not connect the
SmartGuard 600 controller to an Ethernet network that is not protected with a
firewall or other security measures.
