3.1 Setting Up the Host Computer

If the computer you intend to use for programming the D6600, D6680, and the alarm panel network adapters is already

a functioning workstation within the network you are planning to utilize, then skip this section!

The host computer is defined as any computer or workstation that is properly configured and connected to the network

you plan on utilizing that will manage/administer the D6600 and other devices. Any existing laptop or desktop computer

on the network can be used. However, for security reasons, it is probably best the computer be set aside and not used as a

regular workstation. This computer will also be the computer on which you will install the D6200 Software. The D6200

Software is used to program and administer the D6600 Receiver and other devices. Separate sections are provided for

setting up the host computer in Windows 98/98SE/Me and in Windows NT/2000/XP

3.1.1 Windows 98/98SE/Me
