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).

The IP address of your PC.

IMPORTANT

Be certain that the caps lock is not enabled. The
computer name must be typed in lower case. You
will notice that when you type, the computer name
displays in capital letters.

ATTENTION

!

The computer name cannot contain more than 14
alphanumeric characters and must contain no spaces.
For a ProcessLogix Client, be sure the name does not
end in the letter “A” or “B”. The suggested name is
STNxx, where xx is the Station Number (01-20).
