Backup is executed automatically when IO-Link communications start if the following three condi- tions are met.
Page 149 7 Functions of IO-Link Master Units Precautions for Correct Use You can also perform automatic backup by clearing backup data from the IO-Link Master Unit for IO-Link devices for which discrepancies were detected during connected device verification. Clear backup data when all IO-Link devices verify or when any IO-Link devices for which dis- crepancies were found during verification are disconnected.

Page 317: Precautions When Using The Omron Ethernet/Ip With Cx-Configuratorfdt
A-4 Precautions When Using the OMRON EtherNet/IP with CX-ConfiguratorFDT When you use OMRON EtherNet/IP for the CX-ConfiguratorFDT and the CPU Unit or Industrial PC, and communicate with the following connection methods, an online connection may not be established depending on the Windows firewall settings.
Page 318 Appendices Always perform steps 1 to 6 if you cannot go online. The User Account Control Dialog Box may be displayed during this procedure. If it appears, click the Continue Button and continue with the proce- dure. Select Control Panel from the Windows Start Menu and change the display to Classic View. Open the Administrative Tools and select Windows Firewall with Advanced Security from the shortcut icon that is displayed.
