Installing a Network Adapter on the PC
(Windows NT 4.0)
For an Ethernet connection the host PC and the expansion box require
a network adapter to establish communication. The expansion box
with Ethernet connection is delivered with a slot CPU with a built-in
10baseT (twisted pair, 10 Mbit/s) network adapter.
If there is no network adapter installed in your host PC, one of the
following adapter types has to be installed:
■ In a desktop PC: an ISA- or PCI-based network adapter
■ In a notebook PC: a PC card network adapter
Install and test the network adapter according to the manufacturer’s
documentation. The Windows NT online help provides useful
information and advice.
