Configure the
Communication Module

When a new 2711P-RN15S communication module is installed in a
PanelView Plus or PanelView Plus CE, the terminal requires some
basic settings to establish communications.

1. Create a new RSLinx Enterprise communication configuration by

double-clicking on Communication Setup, select Create a new
configuration, and click Finish.

2. Click on the Target tab of the communication window.

To set the path for the target, the devices and drivers must be
added manually because the development computer is not
connected by ControlNet to the ControlLogix processor.

3. Right-click on the virtual backplane of the PanelView Plus /

PanelView Plus CE labeled 1789-A17, Backplane, and select Add
Device.
