Installation
After the computer has booted, the Windows plug-and-play mechanism searches for
a driver for the communications processor. This is available on the "SIMATIC NET,
PC Software" CD and on the supplied driver CD.
Selecting the suitable driver
Which driver you need to install depends on the communications processor and the
conditions in which it is used:
● Office
If the communications processor is used only in an office environment in a PC
network (without SIMATIC NET PC software), install the driver from the supplied
driver CD.
● Industry
If the communications processor is operated in an industrial network along with a
SIMATIC NET communications processor software product, install the supplied
"SIMATIC NET, PC Software, Edition 2007" CD (or higher). If you use Edition
2007, you also have to install Hotfix 1.
