Setting up Network Adapters
Use the following instructions to set up network adapters for Ethernet
To set up an Ethernet adapter using plug and play installation:
Follow the manufacturer’s plug and play instructions for an Ethernet
LAN adapter. When installation is complete, install the network adapter
protocol, and then verify the adapter status.
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 ME systems using Ethernet adapters on a dedicated
network, Tracer Summit automatically installs support.
• For Windows ME 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” below).
• ARCNET for Windows ME is not supported. ARCNET is only sup-
ported for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 98.
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 ME:
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.
