Adding a Network Interface – HIB-IP
Note: If you are not using HIB-IP modules in this system, skip this section and go to Configuring the
Hardware - Hardware Resource Window Page 88.
When you start to build a new system, the MCNConfig program will look in the registry to determine
which Network Interface you have selected. If you have set up a Non-IP Network Interface (such as a
PCLTA, or a Non-Dial-Up HIB-232) in the HWSetup program, the MCNConfig program will find it and
select it as the Network Interface for this system.
If you have selected a HIB-IP in the HW Setup program, the MCNConfig program will open the
Network Interface Properties window.
Enter the appropriate parameters for the HIB-IP unit:
Name
Give a name to the HIB-IP unit. This is the name that you will refer to when you add hardware
modules to the system.
