PL Evaluation Board has entered CENELEC configuration mode. If LED8 is on,

then the CENELEC access protocol is enabled. If LED8 is off, CENELEC is

disabled. By default, CENELEC is enabled.

You must enable the CENELEC access protocol when operating within one of the

CENELEC member states. When operating outside the CENELEC member states,

disable the CENELEC access protocol for optimum performance and reliable
communications.
To change the current setting, you can press the SW8 button on the MiniGizmo I/O
Board to toggle CENELEC support. When you have made a selection, press the SW1

button to confirm your selection and exit CENELEC configuration mode. Make sure

that LED8 is on before pressing SW1 if you want CENELEC enabled, or off if you
want CENELEC disabled. You will not be able to perform any network operations

with the PL EVB until you have made a selection and exited CENELEC
configuration mode.
The CENELEC setting affects the hardware template and program ID (channel type)

selections you will make when using the Mini FX Application with the PL EVBs. See
Chapter 4 for more information on these settings.
