Each row corresponds to a physical rack in the CIP path.
 If the MVI56E-SIE module is located in the same rack as the first 1756-ENBT
module, select R ACK N O . 1 and configure the associated parameters.
 If the MVI56E-SIE is available in a remote rack (accessible through
ControlNet or Ethernet/IP), include all racks (by using the A DD R ACK button).
