Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB) locates MVI69E-MBS modules through UDP broadcast

Discovery Service is 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.
