Your industrial computer has been configured with networking components that enable
you to establish new networks or connect to existing networks easily. If you intend to use
Microsoft NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or Direct Cable Connection, some minimal setup changes are
required before you can use the system for network applications. In Windows operating
systems, these settings are changed using the Network application in the Control Panel
program group.
