HW Setup - Network Interface Setup

The first time HW Setup is ran, it sees that there is no Network Interface defined on the PC. It will ask
you what type of Network Interface (NI) you plan to use.

(The number of options in the "Available Types" list will vary by system.
Most systems will not show the PCLTA, LPP or virtual serial port entries.)

Select the type of Network Interface you intend on using with your system, from the list of possible
types available. Wee the indicated manual sections for further instructions:

Network Interface

IP Comparator(s)

Choose this if you have one or more of the following Motorola Solutions comparators:

(Also see Note 1 below.)

HIB-232 – COMx

Legacy non-dial-up HIB-232 units
- HIB-232 units connect to a COM port directly
or through external leased-line modems or equivalent.

See HW Setup – Legacy HIB-232 (non dial-up) section on page 31 for details.

PCLTA

Legacy internal board in the PC. (32-Bit Windows only).
The MCN network will connect directly to this board.

If there is a PCLTA board that is properly installed, the HW Setup program will list it in
the "Possible Types" list.

See: HW Setup - Legacy PCLTA Setup – 32 Bit Windows only on page 33 for details.


Note 1: You will need to set up parameters for the IP Comparators and/or HIB-IP units in the system
configuration files by using McnConfig Server program. You will also have to download settings to the
HIB-IP from the McnConfig Server program.

After you have selected the proper Network Interfaces for your system, go to the Miscellaneous
