6. Right click on the odd-numbered node (Node 1 in this example)
and choose Insert Connection.
The Connection dialog box appears. The To Node field is
already filled in for you. This number indicates the node number
from which you will receive the Consume Buffer ID message. In
your ControlNet backup system, the odd-numbered node will
receive the message from the even node, and vice versa.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 4, creating a Consume Buffer ID message
for the even-numbered node.
8. Record the Produce Buffer ID and Consumer Buffer ID message
numbers from the odd-numbered PLC-5 below:
Produce Buffer ID message number:__________
Consume Buffer ID message number:__________
You will use these numbers later in the configuration process.
