NOTE: Your PC must meet minimum hardware/operating system requirements for
Workbench workstation. This includes a working Ethernet adapter with TCP/IP support (browser capable). An Ethernet TCP/IP connection
to one or more host controller(s) is required to install software and establish other parameters.
For this initial Ethernet connection, you can use either:
- An Ethernet patch cable connected directly between your PC and a controller (if your PC Ethernet port is not “auto-sensing”,
you will need an Ethernet crossover cable), or
- A normal LAN connection, meaning that both your PC and the controller are physically connected to the same Ethernet hub or
switch.
