2.2.3 Connecting Your PC to the Module's Ethernet Port

With the module securely mounted, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Config
(E1) Port, and the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch accessible from the same
network as your PC. You can also connect directly from the Ethernet Port on your PC to
the Config (E1) Port on the module by using an Ethernet crossover cable (not included).
2.2.3.1 Setting Up a Temporary IP Address
Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder locates MVI56E-SMGC modules through UDP broadcast
messages. These messages may be blocked by routers or layer 3 switches. In that case, ProSoft Discovery
Service will be unable to locate the modules.
To use ProSoft Configuration Builder, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router/ layer 3
switch between the computer and the module OR reconfigure the router/ layer 3 switch to allow routing of
the UDP broadcast messages.
