3.5 Connecting Your PC to the Module
3.5.1 Using CIPconnect
®
to Connect to the Module
You can use CIPconnect ® to connect a PC to the ProSoft Technology MVI56E-DNPNET
module over Ethernet using Rockwell Automation’s 1756 -ENBT EtherNet/IP ® module. This
allows you to configure the MVI56E-DNPNET network settings and view module diagnostics
from a PC. RSLinx is not required when you use CIPconnect. All you need are:

The IP addresses and slot numbers of any 1756-ENBT modules in the path
 The slot number of the MVI56E-DNPNET in the destination ControlLogix chassis (the
last ENBTx and chassis in the path).
To use CIPconnect, follow these steps.
