Communicate with Devices on an Ethernet Network Chapter 3
Disabling the UDP option
Disabling the UDP option lets RSLinx software and the SoftLogix 5800
EtherNet/IP functionality coexist on the same personal computer. Disabling the
UDP option also disables RSLinx software’s Gateway functionality. RSLinx
software still functions, but the Gateway options are removed while RSLinx
software continues to display that it has a full Gateway activation. This affects
how remote computers can browse through a local computer with UDP disabled.
If UDP is disabled on a local computer, a remote computer browsing through the
local computer has this functionality:
• If the local computer has a DeviceNet module in the virtual chassis, you
cannot remotely browse the DeviceNet network. Replacing RSLinx Lite
with RSLinx Gateway software on the local or remote computer does not
enable remote browsing of the DeviceNet network.
• If the local computer has a ControlNet module in the virtual chassis, you
can remotely browse the ControlNet network.
• If the local computer has a SoftLogix controller in the virtual chassis, you
can browse the serial port of the computer.
• If the local computer has an EtherNet/IP module in the virtual chassis, you
can browse the EtherNet/IP network configured to that module.
• The local computer supports a remote connection to the SoftLogix
controller over an Ethernet network so that you can remotely program the
SoftLogix controller.
