Appendix
C
Configure the RSLinx Ethernet
Communication Driver
Overview
To communicate with your adapter over your network, you must configure the
RSLinx Ethernet Communication Driver (AB_ETH) or the EtherNet/IP driver
(AB-ETHIP). You can configure the AB_ETH driver with the IP addresses of all
the Ethernet devices on your system. You need one of these drivers to download
the example application programs in this manual.
See the table for a list of the contents of this appendix.

ROM drive letter.
