Important: ProSoft Configuration Builder locates MVI56E-61850S modules through UDP broadcast messages.
These messages may be blocked by routers or layer 3 switches. In that case, ProSoft Discovery Service will be
unable to locate the modules.
To use ProSoft Configuration Builder, arrange the Ethernet connection so that there is no router/ layer 3 switch
between the computer and the module OR reconfigure the router/ layer 3 switch to allow routing of the UDP
broadcast messages.
