1. On the Tools menu, select Trunk Utilities. The Trunk Utilities wizard appears.
2. Select Download Applications.
3. Specify a Connection Type.
4. In the When to Activate section, select After transfer.
5. In the When activated section, select Enable Logic. Click Next.
6. Select the Integrations for the field devices. Click Next.
7. Enter the connection parameters specific to your connection type. Click Next. For an overview of connection types and parameters, see Downloading a CAF to Devices Through Trunk Utilities.
