Enable ACD	Enables the ACD functionality (Address Conflict Detection) for the EtherNet/IP adapter. Note: The ACD functionality is normally applied by the operating system. Therefore, the user should only use this function very conscientiously. By enabling ACD, complications can result between the controller and the operating system. ACD is a mechanism that EtherNet/IP devices can use to detect and respond to IPv4 address conflicts. The ACD mechanism used in EtherNet/IP complies with the IETF RFC 5227 standard.
Install to Device Repository	If a device with the same device identification has already been installed, then you are asked whether the device should be overwritten. If the device is inserted as a remote adapter below an EtherNet/IP scanner, then you will be asked to automatically update the device.
Export EDS File	The EDS file is created and stored on the local computer. In this way, the EDS file can be used in an external configuration file.
