This supplement assumes you have an understanding of Ethernet/IP networking and the theory of operation
for the 1761-NET-ENI adapter module. Refer to

loaded from the Allen-Bradley web site:
Differences Between Allen-Bradley ENI and MDS iNET/ENI
The functional differences between the Allen-Bradley ENI and the MDS iNET/ENI include the following:
•
The ENI allows up to two peers for outgoing messaging, two peers for incoming messaging, and two
for messaging in either direction. The iNET/ENI is limited to 128 peers in any direction.
•
The ENI supports configuration of the BOOTP Enable flag. The iNET/ENI supports configuration of
DHCP Enable flags.
•
The ENI supports saving configuration to both RAM and ROM. The iNET/ENI always stores configu-
ration in ROM.
•
The ENI uses CRC error checking for fixed baud rates and BCC/CRC auto-detect for autobaud. The
iNET/ENI always uses BCC/CRC autodetect. This simplifies DF1 controller configuration while main-
taining full backward compatibility.
•
The ENI only has one serial port. The iNET/ENI has two serial ports, and supports both of them for
data transfer. For the older ladder programs written for the ENI, the COM2 port is used as the default.
To support setting a baud rate for the COM1 serial port, an additional configuration channel 247 is sup-
ported.
•
The ENI does not support Ethernet message routing (that is, you cannot send a message from an Ether-
net controller to the ENI and have it re-sent to another Ethernet controller). iNET/ENI supports Ether-
net message routing to implement message transfer over the wireless link between several iNETs.
