  need the right hardware and a few other odds and ends in place first. Each computer must include a network adapter, either integrated into the motherboard or in the form of an expansion card, also called a NIC (network interface card). You can verify whether or not your computers have network adapters...

  , instrument interface, display panel, switch closure, network interface, etc. be added to the system. Often this happens at the most inopportune moment with strict guidelines on limiting cost, space and time to implement the change. The solution to the problem is a mezzanine board, which --- as its name...
• Smart Computing Article - Buying PC Desktop Systems
  not know what your computer will need in a year or two, especially if you're purchasing for a business or home office, take a closer look at the systems with two or more expansion slots, just in case you need to add a network card, more video memory, etc. Of course, you can always remove an adapter...

  (printers, Internet access, etc.). network administrator—The person(s) responsible for the design, implementation, and management of a network. NIC (network interface card)—The adapter card in a computer that allows it to communicate with a network. Each NIC has a unique Ethernet address. NIS (Network...

  of the host when necessary. The necessary ingredients for the nextgeneration motion-control concept includes intelligent devices (such as drives and I/O) interconnected by a deterministic Ethernet network to a Windows-based PC host with COM as the interface layer to the user's application. One approach...

  on the network. For example, someone working on a computer can send a file to a printer, but that request must be channeled through the hub before it reaches the printer. Most hubs support the Ethernet standard, meaning the hub accepts an Ethernet cable, which also plugs into an NIC (network interface...
• Bigger pipes for Ethernet vision
  developed vision standard addresses these interoperability issues. The standard, called GigE Vision, covers the network hardware interface, communication protocols, and camera control commands. Developers say the real benefit of GigE vision will be systems less expensive to implement than those using...

Those cables branch into a hub, which lets everything to talk to each other. •Power-line or AC (alternating current) networking: Computers...
• Smart Computing Article - Notebook Computers
  . Components that affect your computer's connectivity (the ability to connect to telephone lines for Internet access or to Ethernet lines for access to a local-area network [LAN]) include modems and network interface adapters (also know as network interface cards [NICs]). Modems are the most common. Many...
