Required Components
The following items are necessary to set up and use the IC-3173.
•
IC-3173
•
One shielded CAT 5 10/100Base-TX, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable to
connect the device to the development computer or to a network.
Note
A CAT 5e or CAT 6 1000Base-T Ethernet cable is required to achieve
1,000 Mbps (Gigabit) Ethernet performance. CAT 5e and CAT 6 Ethernet
cables adhere to higher electrical standards required for Gigabit Ethernet
communication. CAT 5 cables are not guaranteed to meet the necessary
requirements. While CAT 5 cables may appear to work at 1,000 Mbps, CAT 5
cables are likely to cause bit errors resulting in degraded network performance.
•
Development computer running Microsoft Windows. Refer to the driver or application
development software readme for specific Windows version compatibility.
•
A compatible power supply, such as the NI PS-16 Power Supply (part number
781094-01)
