Note for MVI series and PTQ users: The Ethernet connection implements a version of UDP
protocol that dynamically allocates a random UDP port for every connection. This implementation
limits the possibility of using most serial-to-Ethernet converters to access the MVI series PDPMV1
serial port, since many Ethernet-to-serial converters require the configuration of a fixed UDP port,
which is not available for the current implementation.
Note for MVI56-PDPMV1 users: The Ethernet connection uses CIPconnect to communicate with
the MVI56-PDPMV1 (firmware version 1.28.000 is CIPconnect enabled and is required for 1756-
ENBT support). The 1756-ENBT card must be located in the same rack as the MVI56-PDPMV1.
Bridging through multiple racks is not supported by the comDTM software.
Note for MVI69-PDPMV1 users: The Ethernet connection uses CIPconnect to communicate with
the MVI69-PDPMV1 (requires firmware version 1.37.002 or later to support CIPconnect through
the Ethernet port to L32E and L35E CompactLogix processors).
Note: This functionality requires comDTM version 1.0.1.5 with install version 1.01.0003. For
information on how to check the comDTM version and install version, refer to Verifying the
comDTM Version and comDTM Install Version (page 223).
