cannot initialize interface transport

I installed nifbus 3.0 and setup the interface card to connect through controlnet to an allenbradley linking device. I can see everything in RSLinx on the segment but when I try and rub the configurator softwater if returns a fatal error " NIFbus cannot initialize interface transport". Do you haev a solution around fixing this? I have uninstalled and re-installed everything and setup everything a couple of times but still cannot get it to run.
PLease call me if you can @312-330-5034 or email me an answer.
 
Thanks

Hello,

Please be aware that NI-FBUS should work with the OEM version of RSLinx. NI-FBUS must call some DLL's from RSLinx OEM to visit the ControlNet resources. If RSLinx Lite is currently working on your computer, it prevents the 3rd party software (NI-FBUS) from calling these DLL's. Please contact Rockwell for the version information of RSLinx.

Hope it helps and please feel free to let us know if we could do more help for you!

Good Morning,

     You need to have the RSlinx Pro version to interface with NI Config/CN card, lite will not work.
