Configure ABCIP communication driver ports

The ABCIP Communication Driver hierarchy in the OI Server Manager starts with the PORT_CIP Object, followed by the supported communication-interface/gateway modules that allow the Communication Driver to access the supported networks and devices. The logical endpoint for each branch of the ABCIP hierarchy tree is always a Processor Type node which represents the controller device.

The following sections detail the steps necessary to configure your Communication Driver Port Objects according to your network type.

Note: Before attempting to configure your Communication Driver, you should determine the hierarchical structure of your device/network environment.
