Thank you! Stopping the service allowed me to add the PLC to the list.

I'm trying to download a program to a ControlLogix 5571 from our remote server but cannot see the link in RSWho. I had originally programmed the PLC from my computer locally but now I need to connect it to the server. I've set the IP address and can browse to the 1756-ENBT/A card through the web browser of our remote server. However, the server is running RSLinx Enterprise instead of RSLinx classic which I am more familiar with. When I try manually adding the Ethernet card to the list under "Communication Setup" the entry disappears after a new browse is started. Apologies for any incorrect terminology here as this is my first time trying to connect to a remote network PLC.

Will stopping the service disrupt communications between other deployed devices and FactoryTalk View?

Thank you for your quick response! So when I try to open RSLinx classic it tells me that the application is running as a service and I would have to stop the service to open it. How would I go about adding the link to RSLinx?

I am trying to export the Modbus points lists from a DAServer in Archestra SMC but I am getting an error message shown in the attached image. All options are greyed out and I cannot export the points list from the PLC node. I know there are points configured on the PLC node because data is updating the the InTouch application. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
