Do I have to upgrade the NCT-2000-XP program?

No, you don’t need to upgrade the program if you do not have problems using it. However, since Microsoft is releasing security updates regularly, you may experience conflicts with new security updates. When a conflict with a security update is reported, a new version of the software will be distributed within a week. For more information refer to out website. In addition, a new version provides more functions. Therefore, using the latest version is recommended.

Will this with Windows® 98 or Windows ME?

PC Expanion supports Windows® 2000 Professional, Windows® 2000 server, Windows® XP Home Edition, Windows® XP Professional, Windows® XP Media Center Edition, Windows® 2003 Standard Edition/Enterprise Edition, Windows® Small Business Server 2003 and Linux. For supporting other OS, please contact the technical support team.

Must the version of the NCT-2000-XP programs in a sub-network be the same?

Yes, they must be the same. Keep the program updated with the latest version. The latest version resolves problems of the previous version and provides more advanced functions. Since different versions in the same sub-network might cause data communication problems, please use the same version in a sub-network.

Do I have to delete or stop the firewall, the security or anti-virus programs when I install NCT-2000-XP?

No, you do not have to delete or stop them. However, some firewalls, security and/or anti-virus programs may cause problems when NCT- 2000-XP is installed. In this case, you have to stop the real-time monitoring function of such a program to install NCT-2000-XP properly. In addition, the real-time monitoring function may cause problems when you use PC Expanion too. For detailed information, refer to our website.

Do I have to setup a password for the NCT-2000-XP console password?

Yes, we recommend setting a password for the NCT-2000-XP console. Otherwise, anyone can change the settings configuration in the console. Since the settings determine the PC Expanion operations, please keep the console password secure.

What if I forget the password of the NCT-2000-XP console ?

Please refer to ’26. How to mange when the user forgets the password of NCT-2000-XP program” in Part 8 in the manual.

Do I have to add a user account to use the PC Expanion?

Yes, you must add a user. PC Expanion enables multiple users to have access to one computer simultaneously. If many users logon with the same user account, the last logged off user’s settings will be saved. In addition, all users could see the contents created by other users causing a security problem. You must add the necessary number of user accounts and protect them with passwords.
