Chapter 2: Setting up the POPnetserver 2000
The POPnetserver 2000 was specifically designed to allow for quick and
easy setup. Even those with minimal technical expertise can be up and
running in a matter of minutes.
What you Need
Before you begin, make sure you have all the following minimum
requirements:
•
Client system with an Ethernet card installed.
•
Management console system running Microsoft Windows
95, 98, Me, NT 4.0 or 2000, or Microsoft Internet Explorer
version 5.0 or later web browser.
•
If you plan to use the POPnetserver on a network, there
must be a network hub with an available port.
If You Don't have a Network
If your primary system isn’t part of a network, you can still attach the
POPnetserver to it. You will need an Ethernet card in your computer
system, the appropriate network drivers installed and either a standard
network hub or crossover cable.
The gray category 5 (CAT 5) cable included with your POPnetserver
should only be used with a network hub. If you do not have a hub, you
may connect the POPnetserver directly to your primary computer system
with the red network crossover cable included with your POPnetserver.
