13.8 Ethernet Interface

(only TNC 426, TNC 430)

Introduction

As an option, you can equip the TNC with an Ethernet card to
connect the control as a Client in your network. The TNC transmits
data through the Ethernet card in accordance with the Transmission
Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) family of protocols and
with the aid of the Network File System (NFS). Since TCP/IP and
NFS are implemented in UNIX systems, you can usually connect
the TNC in the UNIX world without any additional software.

The PC world with Microsoft operating systems, however, also
works with TCP/IP, but not with NFS. You will therefore need additio-
nal software to connect the TNC to a PC network. HEIDENHAIN
recommends the following network software:
