Click to open the 

Utilities

 folder. This folder contains all of the applications 

and files you will need to set up and configure your module. 

4 

Double-click the 

ProSoft Configuration Builder Setup

 program and follow the 

instructions on your screen to install the software on your PC. 

Note:

 Many of the configuration and maintenance procedures use files and other utilities on the 

CD-ROM. You may wish to copy the files from the Utilities folder on the CD-ROM to a convenient 
location on your hard drive.  

 

1.4 Setting 

Jumpers 

If you use an interface other than RS-232 (default), you must change the jumper 
configuration to match the interface. The following illustration shows the MVI46-
N2 jumper configuration: 

 

The Setup Jumper acts as "write protection" for the module's flash memory. In 
"write protected" mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module's 
firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless 
you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.
