Configuration for network setting for Enterprise

Overview Network Settings for Enterprise

1. Checking Network Interface

During this step, our application will detect the Network Interface Cards (NICs) that are currently plugged into your computer. This allows our application to determine which NICs are available for use with our software.

If you have multiple NICs connected to your computer (such as a Built-in NIC, USB NIC 1, and USB NIC 2), our application will display all available NICs on the screen. To help you identify which port each NIC is connected to, you can unplug the cable and the status of the NIC will be changed to "Unavailable" in our application.

If our application fails to detect all of your available NICs, you can click the "Recheck" button in the top right corner of the screen to rescan for all NICs.

Recheck button

To use an NIC with our software, toggle the button next to its name. You can disable NICs you don't want to use.
