•
the 1784-PCD drivers (Chapters 3 through 6) and restarted Windows
To connect the cable to the card:
TIP
If you need additional information about connecting cables,
see the DeviceNet Cable Planning and Installation Manual,
publication DN-6.7.2.
The following diagrams show a PCMCIA-2.1-compliant system.
If you are using another system, your installation may appear
slightly different.
IMPORTANT
Be sure that your PCD driver is configured to the same baud
rate as your network. If the baud rates are different, operation
of devices on the network could be affected.
