About This Manual
This manual contains instructions on how to install and configure the
NI-FBUS software with an HSE Linking Device. The HSE Linking Device
is an HSE device used to attach H1 links to the High Speed Ethernet.
The NI-FBUS software is intended for use with Windows 2000/NT/XP

manual assumes that you are already familiar with your Windows operating
system.
