The user can check the IP address of the host PC under DOS

 

environment. <Start> <All Programs>

<Accessory>

 

<Command Prompt> or <Start> <Run>

Type ‘cmd’ and then

click the <OK> button. Then type ‘ipconfig’ command and click the <Enter> key. You can see the IP address of the host PC.

In Windows XP, you can easily confirm the IP address settings with or without opening a DOS command prompt window. In Step 2 of the Settings in Windows XP, if you select the <Support> tab, you can view the current IP address settings.

4.How to connect between the PC Expanion and the host PC using network equipment.

Connecting to the network using a cable or DSL router (DHCP function of more than 100Mbps with switching )

1Refer to ‘2. How to check the IP address setting of PC Expanion’ in Part 8., Then set the IP address of the PC Expanion.

2To set the IP address of a host computer refer to ‘3. Setting and Confirming the IP Address of a Host Computer.’ The IP address of a host computer and the address of the PC Expanion must be in the same sub-network. This means that the first 3 among the 4 numbers of the IP addresses must be the same. For example, if the IP address of a host computer is 192.168.0.1, then the PC Expanion must have an IP address starting with 192.168.0. If one of the first 3 numbers of the IP addresses is different, they are not in the same sub-network. To connect to a computer outside of the same sub-network, specify a host computer to connect to and refer to ‘6. Connecting a Specific Host Computer.’

3Click the ‘Connection to’ arrow in the PC Expanion initial screen and

select a host computer from the list. If ‘Autodetection’ is selected in the <Setup> <TS Options> of the PC Expanion, up to 8 host computers within the same sub-network of the NCT-2000-XP application will be automatically found and listed. Automatically found host computer names are marked by the ‘*’ symbol in front of them. If ‘Autodetection’ is not selected in <Setup>

<TS Options> and only ‘TS 2’ or ‘TS 3’ is selected, ‘TS 2’ or ‘TS 3’ appears in the list without the ‘*’ symbol.
