Configuring logical network connections between two AS-i devices
After you configure the AS-i master CM1243-2, you are now ready to configure your network
connections.
In the Devices and Networks portal, use the "Network view" to create the network
connections between the devices in your project. To create the AS-i connection, select the
yellow (AS-i) box on the first device. Drag a line to the AS-i box on the second device.
Release the mouse button and your AS-i connection is joined.
Refer to "Device Configuration: Creating a network connection" (Page 806) for more
information.

CM1243-2 module, and the "Properties" tab in the inspector window displays the AS-i
interface.
In the STEP 7 inspector window, you can view, configure, and change general information,
addresses and operating parameters:
