Installing the PC Network Card (for Network GSM Operation)
The table below lists the 802.3/Ethernet cards that GE Fanuc has tested for proper net-
work GSM operation. If you wish to access stations from the GSM across the network,
you must have a network card or PCMCIA adapter in your PC. The PC network card
must support NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification). If you use a PC network
card not in the list below, GE Fanuc cannot guarantee proper operation of the GSM.

The PC can lock-up if you make setup errors when installing PC
network cards and device drivers in a PC. Be sure you have a system
boot diskette to recover from possible setup errors.
When installing the network card in your PC, be sure to do the following.
1. Install the network card into the computer according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Setup the hardware as described in the table below; these are the
default settings of the card. If you do not use the default settings, you will need to
record your settings for later use in the section, “Setting-Up DOS System Files”.
