Table 13. NetX Settings

Slot	Slot to be used. In the case of PCI adapters with a NetX chip, the slot numbers usually correspond to the adapter numbers.
NetX Com Channel	The communication channel to be used on the selected adapter. A NetX adapter can have up to four communication channels to different fieldbuses.
Automatic bus initialization	This option is enabled by default. When it is deactivated, the user is prompted whether the bus should be reinitialized on download or reset. A reinitialization interrupts the bus and could lead to unexpected behavior of the machinery.
