Configuring the Adapter
Chapter 3 provides instructions and information for setting the
parameters in the adapter.
For a list of parameters, refer to Appendix B, Adapter Parameters. For
definitions of terms in this chapter, refer to the Glossary

the adapter parameters:
RSNetWorx for DeviceNet (version 4.01) and RSLinx (version 2.40)
