- RCBus System w/ MT011 including: |

Unlike the CP/NET Client, the presence of dedicated non-volatile |

storage is required to hold the network configuration. This will be |

FRAM (for MT011) or Serial SPI EEPROM (Duodyne). The NVRAM is used to store your WizNet |

Network boot is performed. By default the directory will be |

`~/NetBoot`. In this directory you need to place the following files: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `cpnos-wbw.sys` |

Finally, you need to add the following line to your CpnetSocketServer |
