Rockwell Automation 20-COMM-I Interbus Adapter - Manual (Page 36)

4-4 Configuring the Interbus Scanner
Before starting the configuration, make sure the PC running CMD
software is connected to the SST scanner (a null modem cable is
supplied with the scanner). The SLC and drives need to be connected to
the Interbus network and powered in order for CMD to configure the
network. If it does not already exist, CMD software tool automatically
creates an Allen-Bradley sub-folder (in the Slaves folder).
CMD needs to be in Extended Mode to configure the network. A
password (supplied by Phoenix Contact along with the CMD software),
is requested for this functionality each time CMD is started. After CMD
has started, you can also click Options/Extended (Function Scope) to
enter the password.
