Driver Startup Mode dialog box

  1. Select
    Communications > Configure Drivers
     from the RSLinx Classic main menu, select a driver from the
    Configured Drivers
     list, and click
    Startup
    .
  2. On the
    Driver Startup Mode
    dialog box, select one of the following startup states for the selected driver:
    • Automatic:
      The driver starts when RSLinx Classic is started and remains running until RSLinx Classic shuts down. Automatic is the default setting.
    • Manual:
       The driver does not start when RSLinx Classic starts. You must use the Start/Stop buttons on the Configure Drivers dialog box to control the running state of the driver.
    • On Demand
      : The driver starts when an application attempts to use it and stops when no longer in use. This selection is only available for serial and Ethernet drivers, and for the PCMK driver in the Windows 98 environment.
      IMPORTANT:
      When using the On Demand startup mode, some applications are affected by the startup delay. On Demand is intended to be used in conjunction with RSLogix 5 and RSLogix 500 to provide the option to switch between applications without reconfiguring the driver from DH+ to DH485. You can achieve the same results by specifying a Manual startup mode then using the Start/Stop buttons on the Configure Drivers dialog to control which driver is active.
    • Disabled
      : The driver does not start; you must change the startup mode to use it.
