Application Notes and Suggestions (continued)
Running RSLinx on machines not on a network
1. Start Windows NT 4.0 and go into the Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Network icon. If NT asks if you want to install Windows NT
Networking, click Yes.
3. NT takes you through the Network Setup Wizard. When NT asks how you are
connected to the Network, choose Wired to the Network.
4. Do not have NT search for a adapter. Select MS Loopback Adapter.
5. Choose TCP/IP Protocol.
6. Click Next to accept the four other services NT will load.
7. Place your NT 4.0 CD in the drive and click Continue.
8. During the install, you will be prompted for a Frame Type. Choose 802.3.
9. When asked if you want to use DHCP to configure your TCP/IP,
click No.
10. When prompted to configure your TCP/IP Properties, use an IP Address of
100.100.100.100 and a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0 and click OK.
11. Choose Workgroup and insert a name in the box.
You must restart your system for these changes to take effect. When Windows NT
restarts, you may go into RSLinx and configure your drivers.
Important: This procedure requires that you log into Windows NT with system
administrator privileges. For RSLinx to work properly in Windows NT
4.0, you must have installed RSLinx Release 1.50.58 or later.
If you have an earlier version of RSLinx, please upgrade to the latest
version of RSLinx.
