Installing and Configuring an Ethernet Network Interface Card
Although an existing Ethernet Network Interface Card (NIC) normally used for computer
LAN and internet communications can be used to communicate with the PulsON 200 radios,
Time Domain recommends a separate NIC be dedicated to communications with the radios.
This dedicated card simplifies the setup task and eliminates the need to switch back and forth
between normal LAN connections and radio activities.
1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install the NIC card and load the necessary drivers.
2. Log on to the computer by using the Administrator account.
