Communications

Your industrial computer has been configured with networking components that enable you to establish new networks or connect to existing networks easily. If you intend to use Microsoft NetBEUI, TCP/IP, or Direct Cable Connection, some minimal setup changes are required before you can use the system for network applications. In Windows operating systems, these settings are changed using the Network application in the Control Panel program group.

Table 5-3. Installed Network Components

Network Component	Comments
PCI Network Adapter	Automatically configured in system
TCP/IP	Default settings must be changed before connecting to an existing
	network. Contact your network administrator for appropriate settings.
NetBEUI	Default settings must be changed before connecting to an existing
	network. Contact your network administrator for appropriate settings.
System Identification	Computer Name: Each system is uniquely identified by its serial number
	and can be renamed before adding it to an existing network
	Workgroup: The default workgroup is Workgroup. This should be
	renamed before adding it to an existing network.
