What This Appendix
Contains

In order to communicate with your 1756-ENET/B modules over your
network you must configure the RSLinx Ethernet communication
driver (AB_ETH). You can configure the AB_ETH driver with the IP
addresses of all the Ethernet modules on your system. You will need
this driver to download the example application programs in this
manual.

The following table lists the contents of this appendix and where to
find specific information:

Installing the RSLinx
Software

Use the following procedure to install RSLinx software on your
computer.

1. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive.

Note: The CD-ROM supports Windows Autorun. Once inserted into
the CD-ROM drive, if you have Autorun configured, the installation
will automatically start at the first setup screen.

If Autorun is not configured for your CD-ROM drive, go to step 2.

2. From the Start menu, choose Run.

You will see the Run pop-up window.

3. Type d:/setup (if it doesn’t appear automatically), where d: is your

CD-ROM driver letter.

4. Click on OK.

You will see the progress bar, followed by the welcome screen.
