Your question -->
I have a panelview + 700 6.1. I want install a second nic, part number 2711p-rn0. What is the procedure for doing so? What, if any, settings need to be changed?
Michael,
I checked around with other engineers.
Apparently it is not yet released - in the product internal page - it is mentioned to use
6189-PCIENET with a 2711P-RN0 until it is released
I am not sure the availabilty of those older part numbers - please call your distributor for that information.
So in a nutshell - we are still awaiting release for the 2711P-RN20 which actually works right with the Panelview Plus 6
I attached some screen caps of what you will see when it is eventually released below the green text section.
The PanelView Plus 6 Ethernet module will provide access on a second network connection (ex. corporate network) for ViewPoint, VNC or Email connectivity. FactoryTalk ME 6.10 or later is required.
The native Ethernet port on the PanelView Plus 6 can be used for connection to the controller and control system network.
Bridging between Ethernet ports is not allowed.
An alternative is to use a 6189-PCIENET with a 2711P-RN0 until the 2711P-RN20 is AFC.
