Appendix E

TCP/IP

All computers must have a 10M or 100M Ethernet adapter card and TCP/IP installed. Use straight-through
Ethernet cables to connect your computer's Ethernet adapter to a hub or switch and to connect the hub or
switch to the Prestige's LAN port. Otherwise, connect your computer's Ethernet adapter directly to the LAN
port with a crossover Ethernet cable.

Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later operating systems and all versions of
UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to install and use TCP/IP on your computer.
Windows 3.1 requires the purchase of a third-party TCP/IP application package.

TCP/IP should already be installed on computers using Windows NT/2000/XP, Macintosh OS 7 and later
operating systems.

After the appropriate TCP/IP components are installed, configure the TCP/IP settings in order to
"communicate" with your network.
