Display Setup
To set up your display:
1. Start the InView messaging software.
2. Create a project.
The software prompts for a project file name, a project name, and
description. Once this is done, the project name and description appears
in the Displays box.
3. The software then prompts for a display name, display description,
display type, and the number of that particular display that is used in the
system (1 to 100 of the same display type).
4. Select one for the number of displays (once displays have been assigned
a unique address, more than one can be added at once).
5. Select Next.
The software then prompts for the address of the display, heartbeat,
TCP/IP settings (if applicable), and the serial com port settings.
Use the default settings of 9600, None, 8, and 1.

Set the IP Address
For the 2706-P22-SC, 2706-P4x-SC, and 2706-P7x-SC terminals, separate
communication modules are needed to place the display on the network. The
2706-P9x-SC displays have Ethernet TCP/IP built in. To add any other network
protocol to the 2706-P9x-SC, a separate communication module is needed.
The Ethernet TCP/IP configuration utility is installed as part of the InView
messaging software package. When first opening the InView messaging
software, you are asked to create a display and a message file. After the display is
created you can configure the IP address of the 2706-PENET1-SC module.
The 2706-PENET1-SC module is the communication interface for Ethernet
TCP/IP. This module is used with the 2706-P22-SC, 2706-P4x-SC, and 2706-
P7x-SC displays. The 2706-P9x-SC displays have this protocol built in.
Note that the 2706-PENET1-SC is Ethernet TCP/IP or Office type Ethernet and
is not Ethernet I/P, which is Ethernet Industrial Protocol available on Rockwell
Automation logic controllers.
