The Setup Jumper acts as “write protection” for the module’s flash memory. In
“write protected” mode, the Setup pins are not connected, and the module’s
firmware cannot be overwritten. Do not jumper the Setup pins together unless
you are directed to do so by ProSoft Technical Support.
The following illustration shows the MVI56-MNETC jumper configuration.

If you have not already installed and configured your ControlLogix processor and
power supply, please do so before installing the MVI56-MNETC module. Refer to
your Rockwell Automation product documentation for installation instructions.
