3) Click Add connection

This is where the list of all your PLCs on the network are.
6) Press the refresh button at the top of the Controller Selections screen
7) If you do not see the PLC appear, use the Connection Mode: Nodename via NAT (Remote TCP)
You will have to enter a NAT Address of Gateway address on the same internal network of the PLC and you will have to enter the Target Nodename which comprises of:
<Exact Model number><Space>@<MACAddress with no dashes>
