NPort Server User’s Manual
2-6
Connecting the Hardware
So far you have known about the types of application that NPort Server can offer. You
can outline your own application and prepare to connect the NPort Server to your
Windows NT. Now you have to define how you connect the NPort Server to your
Windows NT host.
Preparing Windows NT with TCP/IP Network
You need a Windows NT host where you can install the NPort Server on it. If you are
a custom user, you need to configure the server first before it can be put at remote site
alone. If the NT host does not come with an Ethernet card, you must purchase a card
and install the card to the NT. If you are not familiar with the procedure to install an
Ethernet card and TCP/IP, check with Appendix D for Setting Up Windows NT
Network.
. Note: PCI Ethernet card is recommended for adding to your NT. Because of the BUS
difference, PCI bus Ethernet Card performs a lot better than ISA Ethernet Card.
It reduces the system loading under high speed and multiple ports.
