This manual is intended to guide you through the setup and configuration of your
ProLinx Wireless DFNT Client and Server devices.
Important: This Setup Guide shows you how to set up a simple EtherNet/IP wireless network
between two ControlLogix controllers, using two ProLinx Wireless DFNT clients. This guide should
be used as a starting point only.
In all likelihood, the requirements of your particular application will involve additional configuration
and development. For detailed information on the DFNT Clients and ProLinx Wireless protocols,
please refer to the following Driver Manuals, on your ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM:
DFNT Driver Manual
PWP Driver Manual
For general information on installing and configuring ProLinx modules, please refer to the ProLinx
Reference Guide, also on your ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM.
1.1
Before You Begin
The insert included with your modules describes a
sample SINGLE-REMOTE SITE SAMPLE application.
It is important that you read through the insert and
perform any required steps.
Setting up the DFNT network is relatively simple using
the sample files included on the ProLinx Solutions CD.
The flow diagram illustrates the high-level steps used
to configure each module.
The default configuration file contains separate
configurations for each module. You can use the
sample files to get started or you can create the
configuration files from scratch. The easiest way to
begin is to use the sample configurations. Once you
understand how they are created, setting up your
network is easy.
