ASSIGNMENT

3.TCP/IP Considerations

The IPX MAT can communicate with the IPX via an Ethernet TCP/IP connection. In order for the IPX MAT to communicate via TCP/IP, the PC must have its network software, including the TCP/IP drivers, installed and in operation prior to installing the IPX MAT software.

If the PC does not have the network software installed and configured, a message indicating that the WINSOCK

2setup has failed displays during the IPX MAT installation. This message is an expected response since the IPX MAT installation program attempts to upgrade the TCP/IP WINSOCK drivers to the latest version. If these driv- ers are not already installed, the upgrade process fails. The failure does not affect the successful installation and operation of the IPX MAT, but the TCP/IP interface cannot be used.

It is always best to install the IPX MAT software after all network software is installed. Although it is not recommended, it is possible to install the PC’s standard network software after the IPX MAT software has been installed. If the IPX MAT software is installed prior to installing the network software, it will be necessary to run the WINSOCK setup program from the IPX MAT CD after installing the network software.

To run the WINSOCK setup program:

1.Insert the IPX MAT CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2.The IPX MAT setup program starts automatically.

3.Terminate (Cancel) the IPX MAT setup program on the Welcome Screen.

4.Select the appropriate CD-ROM drive in Windows Explorer.

5.Double-click the file named WS2SETUP.EXE.
