2.2 System requirements
2.2.1 Configuring the LANCOM devices
Computers that connect to a LANCOM must meet the following minimum
requirements:
 Operating system that supports TCP/IP, e.g. Windows Vista™,
Windows XP, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000,
Windows 98, Linux, BSD Unix, Apple Mac OS, OS/2.
