    If you have previously installed PortVision DX you may want to verify that you are running the latest version. PortVision DX is continuously updated with new features and added support for the latest hardware model releases.

  3. If necessary, download the latest version of EtherNet/IP if the DeviceMaster UP was not ordered with the protocol loaded.

    If the DeviceMaster UP contains EtherNet/IP, you should verify that it is the latest version before configuring the serial characteristics. If a new firmware version is available, upload the firmware to the DeviceMaster UP.

  4. Refer to the interface programming information and the sample PLC programs for EtherNet/IP.

  5. Configure the DeviceMaster UP port characteristics for your environment using the embedded web pages on the DeviceMaster UP.

    There are two ways that you can access the embedded web page:

    • Open PortVision DX, right-click on the appropriate DeviceMaster UP unit and select Webpage.

    • Open your web browser and enter the IP address of the DeviceMaster UP.
