Frequently asked questions

How do I rename the second network card?

Open the Windows Control Panel, go to Network Connections, right‑click the second network card (often shown as “Local Connection 2”), choose Rename, and enter a new name such as “Instrument LAN”.

What type of Ethernet cable should be used for connections?

Use a shielded straight‑through Ethernet cable for all connections; a shielded crossover cable can be used for direct instrument‑to‑instrument links if needed.
