D. Setting Up a Windows NT/95/98 Network
In order use a PC via an Ethernet network to control serial devices connected to NPort Server Pro,
you must first have a host running Windows NT/95/98 This type of application also requires the host
to have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP protocol installed. If your computer does not already have an
Ethernet card installed, you will need to purchase one, and then follow the instructions provided by
the Ethernet card manufacturer to install and set up the card.
. Note: We recommend installing a PCI Ethernet card on your NT/95/98 host. Because of the
BUS difference, a PCI bus Ethernet card will perform much better than an ISA
Ethernet card. The PCI card reduces system loading under high speed and multiple
port usage.
