Setting up a simple Windows NT network
The Windows NT operating system on all Profile XP systems comes pre-configured
for connection to Ethernet using TCP/IP protocol on either 10BaseT or 100BaseT
networks. The Profile XP Ethernet adapter is set up to auto-sense the correct network
speed, so all you have to do is perform the following steps on each Profile XP system
you’ll be connecting to the network.
Steps to perform:
• Set machine name and IP address on each Profile XP system
• Power-off and connect proper cabling
• Power-on the hub or switch and configure if necessary
• Power-on and test each Profile XP system on the network
NOTE: If you are integrating your Profile XP into an existing local or wide area
network, you may require more steps than those listed here. You must consult with
the network administrator to obtain the information you need to configure the
Profile XP for an existing network.
