Introduction
The Configurator is a software package that allows the user to construct, set
up, and maintain a multivendor DeviceNet network through user-friendly
graphic displays.
The Configurator internally constructs a virtual network in the Network Config-
uration Window, making it possible to set up and monitor DeviceNet devices.
The Configurator is referred to as simple the Configurator in the rest of this
