Setting the Data Rate
By default, the adapter is set to autodetect, so it automatically detects the
data rate and duplex setting used on the network. If you need to set a
specific data rate and duplex setting, the value of Parameter 15 - [EN
Rate Cfg] determines the Ethernet data rate and duplex setting that the
adapter will use to communicate. For definitions of data rate and duplex,
refer to the Glossary.
1. Set the value of Parameter 15 - [EN Rate Cfg] to the data rate at
which your network is operating.

2. Reset the adapter. See
Setting the I/O Configuration
The I/O configuration determines the number of drives that will be
represented on the network as one node by the adapter. If the Mode
Switch is set to the Single mode (default) position, only one drive is
represented by the adapter and Parameter 22 - [DSI I/O Cfg] has no
effect. If the Operating Mode Switch is set to the Multi-Drive position,
up to five drives can be represented as one node by the adapter.
1. Set the value in Parameter 22 - [DSI I/O Cfg].
