Verify the Ethernet Adapter and TCP/IP Address
The ProcessLogix server uses Ethernet hardware and the TCP/IP protocol to
communicate with client user stations. Even if your system does not have a client
user station, you will need to install an adapter and configure a TCP/IP address for
proper communication.
Verify the Ethernet adapter
1.
In your Microsoft Windows NT
desktop, select Start
⇒
Settings
⇒
Control
Panel.
2.
Double-click on the Network icon. You see the Network screen.
3.
Click the Adapters tab. You see the Network Adapters screen.
IMPORTANT
If your server and remote stations do not have Ethernet cards
installed, you can use the Microsoft loopback adapter provided
with the NT operating system. The loopback adapter is a
software program that emulates the operation of the Ethernet
card
TIP
On this screen, adapter (1) is an Ethernet card. Adapter (2) is the
loopback adapter. Your configuration may vary.
