APPENDIX A: TCP/IP SETUP FOR WINDOWS 98 OS

NOTE: The following instructions only apply to PCs with Windows 98 Operating
Systems (OS). TCP/IP is the default network setup on all PCs with
operating systems newer than Windows 98.
The NET Series Controller uses a communication protocol named TCP/IP, the same
protocol used for the Internet. This appendix explains how to install and set up TCP/IP
on a Windows 98 PC. This installation is intended for a stand-alone PC connected to
a NET Series Controller, not a PC connected to a network. For network installations,
consult the network administrator.
1. From the Windows "Start" menu, open the Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, double click on the network icon. The network configuration
dialog is accessed, with the "Configuration" tab on top. When Windows installs
software for the network card, it loads default values in this dialog. The Microsoft
Client has already been installed, along with the data for the network card and a
protocol named IPX.
3. Click on "IPX" and then click the "Remove" button. Click on Microsoft Client and
then click the "Remove" button.
4. To install the TCP/IP protocol:
a. Click the "Add" button, then double click on "Protocol."
b. A dialog with two list boxes opens. The left list box contains protocol
manufacturers. When a manufacturer is highlighted, the right list box shows
protocols produced by that manufacturer. The TCP/IP protocol we need comes
from Microsoft, so click on Microsoft in the left list, then on TCP/IP in the right
list.
c. Click the "OK" button to return to the Configuration screen. The list of installed
items should now contain the network card and TCP/IP.
d. Double click the TCP/IP item. A 6-tab dialog box opens, with the IP address tab
on top. This is the only tab that needs to be accessed for this installation.
e. Click on "Specify address." This highlights the 2 associated fields.
i. Click on the IP address field and enter 10.0.0.1.
ii. Click on the Subnet Mask field and enter 255.0.0.0.
iii. Click the "OK" button.
f. Click the "OK" button on the main Network dialog. Windows asks for the
Windows installation CD-ROM, and then loads the files necessary to add
TCP/IP and perform the other changes.
5. The computer must be restarted to have these changes take place. Afterward, the
NET Series Controller should be accessible from the computer.
