PKTX Channel ID

This parameter specifies which PKTX channel that the server should use for communications. PKTX cards come in

two forms: a single channel (PKTX) or a dual channel card (PKTX-D). Therefore, when a PKTX/PKTX-D card is

used, the driver must be told which channel it should use.

Note: When using the PKTX-D card, select the channel that will be used for the device. This should be 1 for PKTX

Channel 1A and 2 for PKTX Channel 2.

Channel Setup for the Allen Bradley- 1784 KT Card

The KT card must be configured for a unique memory address and interrupt on the hardware before the Channel

Properties may be selected. Note the chosen address and interrupt, as these parameters will be used when

setting up the Channel Properties in the server.

Step 1: Configuring the Hardware

For information on hardware configuration, refer to the KT documents.

Step 2: Installing the KT Card

Install the KT card on an available ISA slot and then connect to the appropriate network.

Step 3: Setting Up Channel Properties for the KT Card

1. In the server application, right-click on the channel and then select Properties.

2. Next, select the Interface Card tab in Channel Properties.
