Host Computer and Network Preparation

This section contains information for preparing your host computer and setting up
network communication, as summarized in Figure 2-30.

Installing Host Computer Ethernet Adapter

Skip this section if you have an Ethernet adapter installed on your computer.
Since the installation procedures for Ethernet adapters change frequently and
without notice, you must follow the instructions supplied with your particular
Ethernet adapter. An external parallel-to-LAN adapter, such as the 246XA-802, is
easier to install and configure than a plug-in card. If your host computer is already
on a network, it probably has an Ethernet adapter already installed.
To install an Ethernet adapter, use the following procedure:
1. Close all applications. Exit Windows and turn the host computer off. This step
is necessary for installing a parallel-to-LAN adapter as well as for installing a
plug-in card.
2. Follow the installation instructions in the manual supplied with your Ethernet
adapter to install the hardware. Do not install driver software at this point.
