4.4.1.1. Configuring the Local Computer

NOTE

The data shown in these web page views are only

representative

of the configuration data required for a

specific interlocking. Each TIM must be configured with

interlocking-specific data

for that location.

Each TIM must also be configured with

specific

network-

and SNMP-host interface parameters for that location.

1. Access the “Local Area Connection Properties” window on the computer being

used. Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).” See Figure 4-15.
