see the name of the network interface card.

Windows 7. The network interface card is a USB to Ethernet converter device. The options
that you actually see on your PG/PC depend on your network hardware.
Use the Windows Control Panel to identify the name of the device.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel
2. Click on the Network and Sharing center.
3. View your active networks and click on the network that is connected to the S7-1200
CPUs.
