5.1.7 How do I change the module's IP address?

1 Use ProSoft Discovery Service to temporarily change a MVI56E module's
configuration port IP address.
2
Use ProSoft Configuration Builder to edit and download the Ethernet
configuration to the module.
3 Use the Optional Add-On Instruction (AOI). The AOI file is available on the
ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM, or can be downloaded from
www.prosoft-technology.com.
5.1.8 What is the purpose of the Optional MVI56E-MNETC Add-On
Instruction?
The Optional Add-On Instruction (AOI) allows the processor to perform the
following tasks:
1 Set the MVI56E Ethernet settings
2 Read the MVI56E Ethernet settings
3 Set MVI56E date/time information
4 Read the MVI56E date/time information
Items 1 and 2 can also be performed through ProSoft Configuration Builder
(PCB) for permanent IP address changes or through ProSoft Discovery Service
for temporary changes. Items 3 and 4 can also be performed through the
module's built-in web page.
The Optional AOI is needed only for specific applications where Ethernet or
CIPconnect access from a programmer's personal computer (PC) to the module
is not possible.

5.1.9 What is ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS)?

ProSoft Discovery Service (PDS) is Windows-based software that connects to
the Ethernet port of the module for the following purposes:
Automatic module discovery on the Ethernet network
Set a temporary IP address for the module for easy commissioning
Allow PCB to select the module for monitoring and IP address reconfiguration
The ProSoft Discovery Service software is supplied as a stand-alone utility, as
well as being integrated into PCB.

5.1.10 Does the MVI56E-MNETC module require processor logic?

Yes, ladder logic is required for data transfer between the MVI56E module and
the ControlLogix
For RSLogix™ 5000 version 16 applications (or later), the included Add-On
Instruction encapsulates the entire ladder logic into one single instruction.
For RSLogix 5000 version 15 and older, sample ladder logic is available from
the ProSoft Technology
