B.1 INTRODUCTION
Use these instructions when making a peer-to-peer Ethernet connection between the RheoVac 950 and
the User Interface Computer (UIC), or an Ethernet connection between the RheoVac 950 and a Local
Area Network (LAN). Locate the section that covers your operating software.
B.2 WINDOWS 98 OR WINDOWS ME OPERATING SYSTEM
1. Ethernet Cable:
a. UIC Connection: use CAT5 network crossover cable (supplied by Intek) to connect the
Ethernet port of the UIC to the Ethernet port on the RheoVac 950.
b. LAN Connection: use CAT5 straight high noise-immune Ethernet cable (not supplied)
with RJ45 plug to connect the Ethernet port of the LAN to the Ethernet port of the
RheoVac 950.
2. Workgroup Identification: Unless otherwise requested, the Workgroup identification for the
RheoVac 950 will be WORKGROUP, which is the Windows 98 default setting. To check/set
the workgroup name: Right click on the Network Neighborhood icon on the UIC desktop.
Select Properties from the menu that appears. Select the Identification tab of the Network
dialog box that appears. Verify that Workgroup is WORKGROUP.
3. Check for Installed Network Components: Right click on the Network Neighborhood icon
on the UIC or LAN computer desktop. Select Properties from the menu that appears. Select
the Configuration tab of the Network dialog box that appears. In the list under “The
following network components are installed” there should be all three of the following: Client
for Microsoft Networks, Ethernet adapter, and NetBEUI (with the Ethernet adapter identified
on the same line next to it). Each will have a different icon associated with it; the ‘Client’
icon looks like a computer screen, the ‘Adapter’ icon looks like an adapter card, and the
‘NetBEUI’ protocol icon looks like a cable in a “T” shape. If these components are not
installed, one or more of the following installations may be necessary. Note: The Windows
installation disk may be needed.
