Installing a Network Adapter on the PC
(Windows 2000/Windows XP)
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 online help provides useful information
and advice.
After installing a network adapter on the host PC, you must change
the TCP/IP configuration. For details see How to Change the TCP/IP
Configuration on the PC (Windows 2000/Windows XP) on page 86.
