The procedure for adding a network is the same for each network type.
Prerequisites: The palette for the network type you are adding is open.
- Do one of the following:
- To add a single network, drag the network component from the palette to the node in the Nav tree; enter a name for the network or accept the default; and click OK.
- To add more than one of the same network type in a single step, double-click the station’s Drivers container in the Nav tree; click the New button; select the type of network to add; enter the number of networks to add and click OK; name the networks or accept the defaults and click OK.
The Framework creates one or more network node(s) under the Drivers folder in the Nav tree. Initially the network status is {fault} and enabled as true. After configuring serial port and transmission mode properties, status should change to {ok}.
- To configure network properties, right-click the network node in the Nav tree and click
