This manual is intended to guide you through the setup and configuration of your
ProLinx Wireless DFNT Client and Server devices.
Important: This Setup Guide shows you how to set up a simple EtherNet/IP wireless network
between two ControlLogix controllers, using two ProLinx Wireless DFNT clients. This guide should
be used as a starting point only.
In all likelihood, the requirements of your particular application will involve additional configuration
and development. For detailed information on the DFNT Clients and ProLinx Wireless protocols,
please refer to the following Driver Manuals, on your ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM:
DFNT Driver Manual
PWP Driver Manual
For general information on installing and configuring ProLinx modules, please refer to the ProLinx
Reference Guide, also on your ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM.
1.1 Before You Begin
The insert included with your modules describes a
sample SINGLE-REMOTE SITE SAMPLE application.
It is important that you read through the insert and
perform any required steps.
Setting up the DFNT network is relatively simple using
the sample files included on the ProLinx Solutions CD.
The flow diagram illustrates the high-level steps used
to configure each module.
The default configuration file contains separate
configurations for each module. You can use the
sample files to get started or you can create the
configuration files from scratch. The easiest way to
begin is to use the sample configurations. Once you
understand how they are created, setting up your
network is easy.

1.2 Using the Sample ProSoft Configuration Builder Files
The sample application uses two 6201-WA-DFNT modules to establish wireless
communications between a ControlLogix PLC at a main site and a ControlLogix
PLC located at a remote site. Both DFNT modules are configured as Clients. The
following diagram illustrates this application.
In this example, the following is assumed:
Two PLCs are located far enough from each other that a wired connection
would be impractical
The application uses two ProLinx 6201-WA-DFNT modules to establish
communication between the two PLCs
The module's radio communication parameters are preset and configured to
pass up to 1200 words in either direction
One DFNT client is connected to the Primary PLC
One DFNT client is connected to the Remote PLC
You can use this guide in one of two ways. First, you can use it as a learning tool
to see how the PCB files make the sample application work. You can also follow
along with the example and modify the configuration files as you go along.
Whether you are configuring your modules on the fly or just reading through to
understand how to use the sample application, there are steps that you must
perform even if you are not yet configuring any modules to suit your own
application.

1.3 About Transmission Casts
The sample uses a UNICAST transmission type. UNICAST means that you set
up Produce and Consume Commands that transfer or receive data between two
individual modules. For example, a Produce command can specify that this data
is only produced to one particular consuming module based on the consuming
modules IP address.
In addition to UNICAST, you also have the flexibility of using MULTICAST (data
sent to multiple modules in a MULTICAST Group List but only picked up by the
module within that list with a Consume command that has the matching
Exchange ID and the IP address of the module multicasting the command), and
BROADCAST which sends data out to all modules. With BROADCAST, each
module receives the transmission whether it be two modules or 50 modules.
Each module receiving the BROADCAST has to check every message to
determine if it is intended for the module or not. This can decrease performance
times since the module may be checking hundreds of messages that are not
intended for it.
Use MULTICAST to limit the modules that should receive the message. For
example, five modules may be part of a MULTICAST Group, yet there may be 15
modules on the network. Only five of the 15 modules on the network will be
configured to handle certain types of commands while the remaining 10 that are
not in the MULTICAST group will ignore the messages not intended for them.

There is one application (ProSoft Configuration Builder) and one file (PPF) that
you must download from the ProLinx Solutions CD to your PC or Laptop whether
you are using the sample configuration or are modifying the configuration to suit
the needs of your application. This section describes how to get everything you
need loaded to your PC. You must perform these steps regardless of
whether you are configuring your modules now or just reading about the
sample applications.
2.1 Install ProSoft Configuration Builder (PCB)
ProSoft Configuration Builder helps you configure the module for your
application.
1 Insert the ProLinx Solutions CD into the CD-ROM drive on your PC or
Laptop. The ProLinx Solutions splash page appears:
2 Select Install Configuration Tool.
3 Follow the prompts to install ProSoft Configuration Builder to your hard disk.
