Communicate with Devices on an Ethernet Network
Chapter 3
If you want the UDP option enabled, you should also enable the Gateway
functionality within RSLinx Gateway software. You must have RSLinx Gateway
software to enable Gateway functionality. Follow these steps.
1. Launch RSLinx software on the computer with the controller.
2. From the Communications menu, choose Configure Gateway.
The Configure RSLinx Gateway dialog box appears.
3. Check Enable RSLinx Gateway.
4. Click OK.
In many applications, initially leave UDP enabled so that you can configure
ControlNet and DeviceNet networks. After configuration is done, disable UDP
so the SoftLogix controller can have EtherNet/IP functionality. If you change the
UDP setting, you must restart RSLinx software for the change to take affect. To
restart RSLinx software, restart the computer.
