About this Manual:

This manual describes the installation and operation of the CS1W-ETN21 and CJ1W-ETN21 Ethernet Units (100Base-TX) and includes the sections described below.

Please read this manual carefully and be sure you understand the information provided before attempting to install or operate the Ethernet Unit. Be sure to read the precautions provided in the fol- lowing section.

Section 1 introduces the features, describes the system configuration and Unit parts, and provides Unit specifications.

Section 2 explains how to install the Ethernet Unit and make the initial settings required for operation.

Section 3 provides information for setting communications using CX-Programmer.

Section 4 describes the words allocated in the CIO Area and the DM Area for Ethernet Units.

Section 5 explains how to manage and use IP addresses.

Section 6 provides information on communicating on Ethernet Systems and interconnected networks using FINS commands.

Section 7 describes the FINS commands that can be sent to an Ethernet Unit and the responses that are returned by the Ethernet Unit.

Section 8 describes information and procedures that can be used to troubleshoot problems that some- times occur with Ethernet Unit and Ethernet communications.

Appendices provide information on Ethernet network parameters, the buffer configuration, TCP status transitions, ASCII characters, maintenance, and inspections.

The related Ethernet Units Operation Manual Construction of Applications (W421) provides the follow- ing information.
