Network Interface Cards

The Network Interface Cards (NICs) supported by the Real-Time Network do not require any special hardware configuration. Just install the card in a vacant PCIe slot of your computer.

RTX64 uses the Windows Device Manager for converting an existing PCIe NIC card from a Windows device to an RTX64 device. Once the NIC card has been associated as an RTX64 device, it can then be used as a Network interface with TCP/IP support for availability to the Real-Time Network. See Converting a Windows Device to an RTX64 Device for more information.

Each NIC card that is an RTX64 device requires its own interrupt, be it line-based, MSI, or MSI-X. See Configuring Interrupts in the Help for additional information.
