Controller Ethernet Port

You can disable a controller Ethernet port with the

Studio 5000 Logix Designer®

application.

IMPORTANT:

Remember the following:

For controllers with two Ethernet ports, you can disable either of the Ethernet ports whether the controller uses Dual-IP mode or Linear/DLR mode.

Once a port is disabled, you lose any connection that is established through the controller Ethernet port.
