Setting Up Under
Windows NT 4.0
The connection between the PC (host) and an expansion box (client) is
based on the TCP/IP protocol provided by Windows NT 4.0. There are
two ways to connect a client to the host:
■ Peer-to-peer connection
The expansion box and the host PC are directly connected in a
peer-to-peer configuration, and neither the host nor the client is
connected to any other network.
■ Integration in an existing network
The expansion box becomes part of an existing network using
TCP/IP, for example, a local area network. In this case, the TCP/IP
protocol is already installed on the host PC.
Setting up procedure To connect an expansion box via Ethernet under Windows NT 4.0,

page 71.
