Features:
- Protocol bridge: EtherNet/IP access for qualified RS-232 DF1 full-duplex devices
- Series-dependent Ethernet: speed, duplex, configuration, and diagnostic capabilities vary
- Finite messaging capacity: six concurrent TCP/IP connections with documented buffers
1761-NET-ENI extends Ethernet access to serial controllers and devices that support the required DF1 full-duplex behavior.
Its network performance and configuration options vary by series, so the module label is part of the engineering record rather than a purchasing detail.
Commissioning should connect IP settings, route nodes, DF1 parameters, connection use, power, switch port, and recovery steps to the exact installed series.
Apter Power can coordinate official-document review, quotation, and sourcing support for 1761-NET-ENI.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Series A/B: retain the documented Ethernet speed and configuration boundaries for early hardware.
- Series C: account for 10/100 auto-negotiation, wider temperature range, and improved messaging.
- Series D: document Ethernet configuration access, forced speed or duplex, authentication, and diagnostics.
- Serial prerequisite: qualify the attached device for RS-232 DF1 full-duplex before route setup.
- Node map: assign route, email, and configuration functions only to their documented node groups.
- End-to-end proof: test program access and each controller message through the actual switch and serial cable.
- TCP/IP limit: count incoming, outgoing, and flex connections against the six-connection boundary.
- Message buffers: account for CIP connections, unconnected sends, DF1 queues, and packet-size limits.
- Recovery plan: preserve hardware address, IP method, fallback, reset behavior, and known-good configuration.
- Legacy controller access: place supported DF1 full-duplex controllers on an Ethernet programming path.
- Controller messaging: route qualified data exchanges between serial and Allen-Bradley Ethernet devices.
- Status notification: use manufacturer-supported SMTP functions where the network and module series meet the documented conditions.
