Each port of the CAN hardware interface is configured from this tab. Use
the drop-down box nearest the top of the tab to select the physical port
number to configure. For each port, use the Name drop-down box to select
the name for the CAN Network Interface Object (CAN0, CAN1, and so on).
You use this name to refer to the physical port from within your NI-CAN
application.
To access online help for the NI-CAN Configuration utility, click on the
Help button. Alternately, you can right-click on a specific control and
select What’s This? from the pop-up menu to see context-sensitive help
for the item you have clicked on.
When you have finished configuring the NI-CAN software, proceed to
Chapter 3, Verify the Installation.
Note If you changed the resources for any PCMCIA-CAN or PCMCIA-CAN/2
interface, you must restart Windows NT for the changes to take effect.
