Tcp/Ip Considerations; To Run The Winsock Setup Program - NEC NEAX 7400 IMX Command Manual

3. TCP/IP Considerations

The IMX MAT can communicate with the IMX via an EtherNet TCP/IP connection. In order for the IMX MAT to
communicate via TCP/IP, the PC must have its network software, including the TCP/IP drivers, installed and in op-
eration prior to installing the IMX MAT software.
If the PC does not have the network software installed and configured, a message indicating that the WINSOCK 2
setup has failed displays during the IMX MAT installation. This message is an expected response since the IMX
MAT installation program attempts to upgrade the TCP/IP WINSOCK drivers to the latest version. If these drivers
are not already installed, the upgrade process fails. The failure does not affect the successful installation and oper-
ation of the IMX MAT, but the TCP/IP interface capability cannot be used.
It is always best to install the IMX MAT software after all network software is installed. Although it is not recom-
mended, it is possible to install the PC's standard network software after the IMX MAT software has been installed.
If the IMX MAT software is installed prior to installing the network software, it will be necessary to run the WIN-
SOCK setup program from the IMX MAT CD after installing the network software.

To run the WINSOCK setup program:

1. Insert the IMX MAT CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. The IMX MAT setup program starts automatically.
3. Terminate (Cancel) the IMX MAT setup program on the Welcome Screen.
4. Select the appropriate CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer.
5. Double-click the file named WS2SETUP.EXE.
