handheld tools, leave the hardware switches in there default position
(99) or insure that they are set to something greater than (63). With
the hardware switches set, use the software or handheld tool to

Note: DeviceNet drivers must be configured using RSLinx prior to
being available to RSNetWorx.

before viewing configuration. Click OK.
5. RSNetWorx will now browse the network and display all of the
nodes it has detected on the network. For some versions of
RSNetWorx software the ArmorStart EDS files and icon may not
be included and will show up as an “Unregistered Device”. If the
screen appears like the example below, continue with Building
and Registering an EDS file.
