Installing TCP/IP Networking Software

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a
networking protocol that provides communication across interconnected
networks made up of ProcessLogix Servers and ProcessLogix Clients.
You must install TCP/IP networking software even if your PC does not
include a network card. You cannot run ProcessLogix software without
TCP/IP networking software.

Use the following procedure to install TCP/IP as part of the Windows
NT installation. This procedure assumes that you know the following
information relevant to your communication network.

The network name of your PC(s). If you are installing redundant
Servers, the base name for both PCs is always the same and the
name is appended with an A for the Primary Server and a B for the
Secondary Server. For example, the Primary Server name is PLX1A
and the Secondary Server name is PLX1B.

The IP address of your PC.

The subnet mask for your network.

The default gateway, if appropriate.

Whether or not you are going to enable Windows Internet Name
Service (WINS) and Domain Name Service (DNS) lookups.

1. Select Wired to the network, when prompted, even if you do not

have a network card.
