5.5.3 Connecting Your PC to the Module's Ethernet Port
With the module securely mounted, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the
CONFIG (E1) Port, and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch accessible from
the same network as your PC. Or, you can connect directly from the Ethernet
Port on your PC to the CONFIG (E1) Port on the module.
Assigning a Temporary IP Address
This procedure assigns a temporary IP address so that you can use the ProSoft
Configuration Builder to download a configuration file containing the permanent
IP address.
Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder locates MVI56E-MCM modules through UDP broadcast
messages. These messages may be blocked by routers or layer 3 switches. In that case, ProSoft
Discovery Service will be unable to locate the modules.
To use ProSoft Configuration Builder, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router/
layer 3 switch between the computer and the module OR reconfigure the router/ layer 3 switch to
allow routing of the UDP broadcast messages.
