    Install or update onboard BroadCom NIC driver

    Perform the following procedure to obtain the latest driver.


    ATTENTION
    l This procedure is for supporting onboard Broadcom NIC cards and the new driver

    version that must be updated.


    l If drivers were downloaded from the Honeywell Process Solutions website

    (http://www.honeywellprocess.com), ensure the instructions included with the


    drivers are followed instead of this procedure.
    CAUTION
    If the FTE is installed and is operating, disable the FTE by performing the procedure in
    Unbind physical adapters from Honeywell FTE adapter, before updating the adapter driver
    version.

    5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the Broadcom driver installation.
    6. Return to the checklist.
    5.5 Configure NIC adapters for FTE
    This section provides the procedures to configure the adapter and IP settings for the network
    interface cards that are used for Fault Tolerant Ethernet. It is required to configure these settings
    before installing the FTE software to ensure the software package installation picks up the
    configuration and transfers them correctly to the Honeywell FTE adapter.
    l Rename the network physical adapters

    l Verify/set NIC adapter TCP/IPV4 properties

    l Verify/change physical adapters settings

    5.5.1 Rename the network physical adapters


    The NIC must be renamed in the following scenarios.
    l If the NICs have been replaced or new NICs are added to the computer.

    l If the previous names for these adapters have been deleted and replaced with the Microsoft

    default names of Local Area Connections (2).


    If you must rename the NICs for any of the previously mentioned scenarios, refer to the naming
    conventions mentioned in section, User interfaces and naming conventions.
    1. Perform the following steps to determine Green and Yellow adapters.
    a. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories, and then select Command Prompt.
    Or
    Select Start > Run, and type command in the Run dialog box.
    The command prompt window is displayed.
    b. In the command prompt window, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER.
    A list of all the IP configurations are displayed.
    c. Examine the Local Area Connections and the physical addresses to determine the lowest
    - 46 -
    physical address.
    d. Determine the lowest physical address associated with the NIC (for example, Local Area
    Connection). This adapter is the Yellow adapter.
    2. Perform the following:
    Click Start > Windows System > Control panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing
    Center > Change adapter settings.
    The Network Connections window appears.
    3. Right-click the Local Area Connection that has the lowest physical address and choose
    Rename.
    Rename the adapter and the Local Area Connection (with Yellow in the name) to meet the
    naming convention specified in section Standard naming conventions for NICs.
    4. Right-click the Local Area Connection that has the highest physical address and choose
    Rename.
    Rename the adapter and the Local Area Connection (with Green in the name) to meet the
    naming convention specified in Standard naming conventions for NICs.
    5. In the command prompt window, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER.
    A list of all the IP configurations are displayed.
    6. Verify that the lowest physical addresses has Yellow in the adapter name and the next physical
    address is labeled Green.
