To set up a network, it will require a communication 
DTM supported by the device DTM being connected to.  
Determine the communication network being used in your 
system; Eaton currently supports modbus serial and modbus 
TCP communication protocols for connecting to its devices.
Creating a network
The framework will show the installed communication 
modules that are installed along with the saved network 
name.
Determine what network is being used to connect to the 
device.  To add that network DTM shown in the device 
catalog there are a few options.
Drag the communication DTM from the Device Catalog to 
the Network name.
