Using IOLinx To Test the Example Network
What This Chapter Contains
This chapter describes how to use the IOLinx runtime software
supplied with the 1784-PCIDS card to test the example DeviceNet
network. The following table describes where to find specific
information.
Using IOLinx to Configure
the 1784-PCIDS Port
Included with the IOLinx for 1784-PCIDS driver is a stand alone test
application (DNetTest.exe) that can be used to diagnose simple
problems over the network. The test application is automatically
installed as part of the driver installation procedure. You can also use
this test application to configure the DeviceNet port on the
1784-PCIDS card, instead of using RSLinx as described in chapter 4.
The procedures are almost identical.

TIP
The port configuration is stored in the Windows

for the card (e.g., using RSLinx), you can skip this
section and proceed to

Network on page 5-4.
