Installing the Network Adapter Protocol
IMPORTANT
The network adapter card must be installed before installing the net-
work adapter protocol.
The network adapter protocol is the language the computer uses to com-
municate over the network. How you install the network adapter protocol
depends on the operating system and the adapter type.
• For Windows 98 systems using Ethernet adapters on a dedicated net-
work, Tracer Summit automatically installs support. It is only neces-
sary to verify the adapter settings (see “Verifying Network Adapter
Status and Protocol for Windows 98” on page 185).
• For Windows 98 systems using Ethernet adapters on a shared net-
work, you may need to install TCP/IP protocol (see “Installing TCP/IP
Protocol for BACnet/IP Communications on Shared Ethernet Net-
works” on page 181).
• For ARCNET, the network protocol is installed as a part of the Cus-
tom Setup (see “Custom Setup” on page 186).
Installing TCP/IP Protocol for BACnet/IP
Communications on Shared Ethernet Networks
Before installing TCP/IP, check the network settings for the adapter to
verify that TCP/IP is not already installed on the PC Workstation. Many
PC Workstations supplied by a customer already have TCP/IP protocols
installed on the machines and automatically bind this protocol to an
adapter when you install the adapter on the PC Workstation.
To install TCP/IP Protocol on Windows 98:
1. From the Windows desktop, right-click on the Network Neighborhood
icon, and select properties.
2. Click the Configuration tab. Then, click the Add button. The PC may
display one or more progress bars titled “Building Driver Information
Database.” The Select Network Protocol dialog box displays.
3. In the Select Network Component Type dialog, click on Protocol.
Then, click the Add button.
4. In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, click on Microsoft in the
manufacturers’ window.
5. Click TCP/IP in the Network Protocols window.
6. Click the OK button.
