Configure the RSLinx Ethernet

Communication Driver

What This Appendix

Contains
To communicate with your 1734-AENT 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.
