STEP 7 – Configure and test the System using the Daq* Configuration Applet
The Daq* Configuration applet, designed for 32-bit Windows NT/2000/XP systems, is located
in the Windows Control Panel. It allows you to add or remove a device and change
configuration settings. The included test utility provides feedback on the validity of current
configuration settings, as well as performance summaries.
1. Open the Daq* Configuration Applet.
2. Add the first-level device to the list of installed devices.
The first-level device is the device that will be connected directly to the Ethernet, via a host
computer's Ethernet jack or a jack on a network hub. DaqLab/2001 is an example of a first-
level device.
3. Set the properties of the first-level device.
In this step you will set the device properties according to one of the following two methods,
depending on whether you have a "Dedicated Network" or a "LAN with DHCP Server Network."
Illustrations of the network types are provided on page 6-3.
